Observation details
Individual photographed: looks like a saltmarsh sparrow, but sounded like a Nelson's (if the bird I was hearing and recording at that time was the same bird I was photographing... I guess this is not a guarantee?). Photos: this is the 9:05-9:06 am sharp-tailed that we photographed and have audio from the same time. iPhone digiscopes. Is it a hybrid even though it visually looks like a saltmarsh sparrow? Several Nelson's candidates by song. #2-3, audio of Nelson’s 1 that EJ photographed and of #2 seen but no photos. Good candidates for Nelson’s by song. A couple more that flew. Candidate 9:06 am was also photographed by both of us, but that one seems good for Nelson's, by both visual and song, and I moved it to that species in the checklist.
