A pair of White-crowned Sparrows joined the
ever-growing flock at my feeder yesterday morning. As
I watched them, I noticed that one had pale lores. I
had my camera, but was only able to get pictures of
the other White-crowned, which can be seen here:

I'm sorry I didn't get pictures of the pale-lored
one, but it wasn't very cooperative. I didn't realize
there was anything unusual about it until looking at
my Sibley later in the day.
Though not very familiar with these sparrows, I think
it was of the West Taiga population. The lores were
definitely pale, the body was more grey than brown,
and the bill looked pinkish (not yellow). How often do
White-crowneds from that population show up here?
I've been watching the feeders very closely today,
but there's been no sign of either White-crowned
amongst the very damp sparrows.
