Today was the first time I was able to see the sparrow after reading the 
comments sent to me by experienced observers and looking at many pictures of 
other White-throats. In light of these comments, most particularly those sent 
to me by Dr. Bruce Falls, and the pictures I viewed, I believe that I was 
mistaken in thinking it was a hybrid, and that it is actually a second-year 
tan-striped individual, unusual in the degree of coalescence of the breast 
streaking into a central spot. My thanks to all those who sent photos and 
detailed comments to me.
