Re: [nysbirds-l] Question about hybridization between Seaside Sparrow and Saltmarsh Sparrow.

Thank you for your fast reactions. No need for consolation, Tom. Angus, you're right, the light was less than perfect. The bird is clearly a Seaside Sparrow, and I identified it as such, but the ochre on the side of the neck, behind the eye stripe, is a feature that does not show on any

Hi Tom and all, The Yellow-throated Warbler had white above the lore, suggesting interior race - Setophaga dominica albifrons. A couple of photos on Paul Bourdain's blog here: http://paulsusbirdingblog.blogspot.com/2017/04/yellow-throated-warbler-in-central-parl.html good birding, Anders

RE: [nysbirds-l] Question about hybridization between Seaside Sparrow and Saltmarsh Sparrow.

I’m not seeing it, Juan. Agree with Angus. In your photo, the breast is over-exposed, making it appear much lighter than it might otherwise. All other elements of the bird’s plumage seem consistent with a fresh spring Seaside Sparrow. The beak size and shape is all Seaside, too. Jim

Re: [nysbirds-l] Question about hybridization between Seaside Sparrow and Saltmarsh Sparrow.

Maybe I'm missing something but could you perhaps explain why you think this not a pure Seaside Sparrow? I am not noticing any inconsistencies, although to be fair it's difficult to evaluate a single photo of a partially obscured bird that's facing away As a side note, I am not aware of

[nysbirds-l] Question about hybridization between Seaside Sparrow and Saltmarsh Sparrow.

I apologize for the cross-posting. I have photographed a Seaside Sparrow this morning at the Salt Marsh Nature Center in Marine Park, Brooklyn that seems to have some features that match Saltmarsh Sparrow. I have read that these two species hybridize regularly.
