Media notes
A Chipping Sparrow with pale lores photographed at Cal State San Bernardino on 13 Oct 2017. While a hybrid Chipping X Clay-colored Sparrow cannot be definitively excluded, all plumage features except for the pale lores are consistent with Chipping Sparrow.
Observation details
Including a flock of 15 on the lawn between the Commons, Jack Brown Hall, and the dorms, that contained one individual with pale lores. These photos were circulated to a number of experienced birders, all of whom agreed that except for the pale lores, all plumage features were consistent with Chipping Sparrow. Some suggested that it may be a hybrid with a Clay-colored Sparrow, but with no strong evidence to support that, it is entered here as a Chipping Sparrow.
