Hi all:
=20
There are photos for this bird=2C which I've not seen yet=2C but it is the =
opinion of those that have seen the photo that the bird is clay-colored. S=
ylvia Fullerton saw this bird today also and she believes that it is a clay=
-colored sparrow. We will follow up so that others can hopefully catch thi=
s bird for a positive id. Thanks.
