This past week (Weds. or Th,) I saw a bird that I have never seen before (I now live in Poughkeepsie NY after many years in South Shore Nassau county). My bird landed in a tree near me, one of many trees in a backyard woods.It was about the size of some of the very large Slate-colored Juncos I have been seeing lately. The critical markings were two yellow lateral crown stripes that continued down the entire length of its body.Not a clue in Sibley. Hope someone can help. Rth
