It was feeding in the myrtle along with Hermit Thrushes. Little food appears left in this tree beneath the magnolia. I couldn't find the White-throated Sparrows either, but the sparrow flock beside the parking lot nearest to Moody Road had what appeared to be a WHITE-CROWNED X GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW. I saw this sparrow about three times as it foraged with a flock of mostly Golden-crowneds. It had brown lateral crown stripes and a brown eyeline offset by a buffy or pale supercilium, such that from a side view it looked like a first-winter White-crowned Sparrow. It had an orange-yellow bill typical as well of a White-crowned Sparrow. However, its crown from a top or a three-quarter view did not show a narrow central white stripe as expected, but the lateral crown stripes joined at the forehead as on an adult Golden-crowned Sparrow, but the crown was entirely gray as would be seen in an adult Golden-crowned if it lacked any yellow in the crown.
