Observation details
Large, stocky sparrow seen with all the other sparrows by the pine trees at the southwest corner of the youth center at the southern edge of the lake. Large bi-colored beak, dull grey above and white below; prominent black stripes bordering the white throat; white malar stripes; striped flanks and chest with a black chest spot; white wing patches seen when wings were closed; and a short, dark tail with white tips to the feathers creating a spotted tail appearance in flight. Probably an immature male. Most other sparrows ruled out due to size and shape, Fox Sparrow ruled out due to short tail, beak shape, and lack of rufous coloration on wings and tail; Sagebrush Sparrow ruled out due to short tail, and uniform back & head color.
