RE: [nysbirds-l] Queens spizella sparrow

[nysbirds-l] Queens spizella sparrow

RE: Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Potential (Probable?) Brewer's Sparrow in Flushing Meadows Corona Park

I have depressingly little experience with Brewer’s Sparrow over the last couple of decades, but doesn’t the bright gray, unstreaked nape rule that species out and clinch Clay-colored Sparrow? Kevin From: bounce-120005161-3714...@list.cornell.edu
