Observation details

**Very Rare, first seen in the willows and grasses to the right of the second pond fishing dock. Skulked around there for a while and flew up into the trees in front of the pavilion closest to the dock. Very distinct sparrow with very orange face, white streaks in the back, and an overall buffy orange wash on the breast - unmistakable. Photos tba.
