Observation details

One bird showed characteristics of subspecies morphna of the coastal Pacific Northwest - a dark rusty Song Sparrow with grayish underparts and broad blurry rusty streaking to back and underparts. The wings and tail were very rusty, and the facial pattern was gray with rusty stripes (including the malar). As the underpart streaks are not crisp and the background color is grayish, the entire bird looked dark, richly rusty, and blurry.
