Observation details
Continuing. Appearing a couple of times in an opening under the bushes at the southeast corner of the parking lot, initially foraging tentatively, then aggressively kick-scratching (unlike other Zonotrichia but like a Fox Sparrow!) and grabbing a large seed or fruit before retreating under cover. Large sparrow with a bright white breast showing some dark spotting, moreso along the flanks. Molting into alternate, with now a more complete black throat but still blotchy black on the head; large pinkish beak. I did not hear any vocalization. Photos.
