Observation details
Bright male. Found this morning by Paul Donahue. See photos. Ninth San Mateo County record. Erratic and unpredictable they are a scarce vagrant to California. This one is presumably off course on its planned trip to Northern South America where they winter. The dark triangle on its chest makes this one a male. Their name is onomatopoeia for their song. Currently classified with the Cardinalidae (Cardinals and Allies) they are in their own genus "Spiza" with no close relatives.
