Observation details
about 4:55 pm I glanced out to look at my feeder area and saw a sparrow, expecting it to be one of the many White-throated Sparrows I get every night about dusk; but I could see it looked different. I grabbed my bins, as it was already too dark with the naked eye even though the bird was less than 15 feet away. I was surprised to see another Fox Sparrow. A large reddish streaked sparrow with gray on the head and nape. I was able to adjust for the dim light and get an ID photo through the window. I had had a Fox Sparrow on and off all fall and winter, with the last day I saw it here until today, was Jan 12, 2019
