The bird was with WHITE-CROWNED and LINCOLN'S SPARROWS and HOUSE FINCHES. The bird was noticeably smaller than a Lincoln's Sparrow that it was sitting next to. It had a clear, whitish front which is what drew my eye to it first because it was so bright. It had a thin, distinct, complete white eyering in an otherwise smudgy, indistinct face with a thin malar stripe. The head was streaked, but not striped, as was the back. The tail was notched and the legs and feet were pink. Overall, the bird presented a very gray and white picture with a bit of brown in the wings and tail. I had checked the cottonwoods earlier and the end-two which were in the early sun were quivering with the feeding birds - ORANGE-CROWNED, YELLOW and WILSON'S WARBLERS, 2 WARBLING VIREOS, 1 PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER (it called), CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES and my first RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET of the fall.
