Re: [SBB] White-throated Sparrow -- Palo Alto & across the creek

[Matthew Dodder <[[email protected]]>]

All,

Kelly and I saw the WHITE-THROATED SPARROW at noon today at the three- 
way intersection of Poe/Bryant/Palo Alto Ave on the Palo Alto side of  
things. Kris is right, it is a very striking bird and very strongly  
marked on the head. Quite a nice looking example.
