Observation details

Ipswich subspecies; chose to walk instead of hop and was very noticeably paler than the usual Savannah Sparrow (savannah subspecies) that I'm used to. Banded individual. Update: This individual was apparently seen here a year ago as well, as identified by its bands. From Tom Reed: This individual was banded as a hatch year on September 8, 2017 at Sable Island, Nova Scotia.
