Observation details

First appeared with a single Golden-crown to our yard. Made a brief stop at the water feature before moving out to our lawn to feed. It remained for quite a few minutes allowing time for photos."Large sparrow with pink bill and long tail. Immatures have buffy-brown heads and a white throat outlined by dark "mustache" stripes and the streaky beginnings of a bib." BOW quote that best describes plumage seen and photographed today. The bird made one short repeat visit while perched on an overhead wire. Despite continuing vigilance it was not seen again before dark.
