Continuing male, outside house with parrot at about (39.948382, -120.912573). Full documentation to CBRC reproduced here: Found on 12/18/21 by Ryan and Rachel Bauer during a CBC; first identified by Colin Dillingham. Documented by many since then. Located initially at about 7:50 am, and viewed intermittently for about 40 minutes; perhaps 7 minutes of observation cumulatively. Mostly in crabapples near 166 Bell Lane; occasionally on the ground or front porch, where the residents of 166 had scattered some seed. Associating with a sparrow flock, consisting mostly of Dark-eyed Juncos. Frequently in deep thickets, either partially obscured or out of view completely, but perched in the open occasionally (about 3 minutes cumulatively), and made several very brief visits to the seeds on the porch. Conditions excellent throughout the period of observation; temperatures from 34 ºF at the beginning of the period to 39 ºF at the end; no wind, clear skies, and good lighting. Poor but diagnostic digibinned images. Slightly larger than nearby Dark-eyed Juncos, with a proportionally rather large, conical bill, yellow over the basal two-thirds and blackish over the distal third. Coloration of underparts striking and distinctive—chest and flanks rufous-orange, with sparse blackish spotting along the flanks; belly and undertail coverts white. Upperwing patterning also distinctive: scapulars orange; most greater coverts black at base with broad orange area tips (creating striking wingbar), but greater coverts 1-4 duller gray at base, with limited off-white tips (these appear to be retained juvenile feathers); primary coverts blackish. Primaries and secondaries black, edged with pale yellowish; inner primaries white at base. Tertials black with broad orange margins. Rump and lower back white; mantle feathers black at base and pale brown distally, creating scaled appearance. Head frosty gray-brown with black spangling, darker between base of bill and eye; parallel blackish lines from hindcrown down to nape; partial buffy-yellow eyering. No similar species occur regularly in California, and even extralimitally there are virtually no serious confusion species. A male, based on the presence of black on bases of head and mantle feathers is diagnostic (on females, these feathers should have brown bases); based on retained juvenile greater coverts, probably SY. This species is sometimes kept in captivity and has been recorded to ride ships, but ship assistance should not be a serious concern for a vagrant appearing in Plumas County, and there is no evidence whatsoever to indicate captive origin for this individual. This individual appears to be the 9th for California.
