Observation details
Found yesterday, Jan. 27, 2023 by me. To my eye this particular Harris's Sparrow matches the photos and description of a nonbreeding plumage adult male, per Beadle & Rising, page 214. Third San Benito County record. First record was on private property in Panoche Valley on a CBC. Second, well documented, record was at a bird feeder at a private residence along Highway 129. See photos. The sparrow showed up at the feeder at 9:06 a.m. The property owner where this sparrow was found was very aggressively hostile (gun threats by signage). I urge birders to NOT approach this property.
