Observation details

🔴RARE. Excellent find by Michael Adriaansen. Thanks for getting the alert out. I drove down because I knew at least Kevin Rybz would be looking for it and it didn’t disappoint. Kevin went East and I went West and not too long after Kevin refound it and called me. I stayed for a while after and the bird spent almost an hour eating dandelions in the grass and walking on the sidewalk occasionally going up to branches when a jogger went by. It vocalized a few chips when goldfinches joined it. Apparently dandelions are delicious. NOTES: large sparrow with distinctive black, red, and white harlequin facial markings, white on the edge of the tail feathers, plain white breast with rufous flanks, and a fuzzy dark dot in the middle of its chest
