Observation details
Paired with a Golden-crowned Sparrow. Both birds were agitated with me and were carrying food. As I backed off and watched from a distance the hybrid bird sneaked into the base of a putchki plant where it stayed for several minutes then came out without the food and with a noticeable brood patch exposed. The alarm notes of the hybrid sounded like those of a Golden-crowned Sparrow.
