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

["Phyllis Browning" <[[email protected]]>]

It seems there are two White-throated Sparrows at this intersection, because 
the one seen by me and Lennie Stovel during the PACBC, December 19th,  was 
most definitely the tan-striped form, not the white-striped form.  It was 
also feeding with the Golden-crowned Sparrows, but on the Palo Alto side of 
the creek near Bryant.
