I have a series of 5 photos that will be of interest to some folks,
more diagnostic than anything else. All were taken right at East
Point, aka The Guzzle, North Grand Pre between Nov 16th & Dec 1st. On
Nov 15 Bernard Forsythe & I spotted one bird that we agreed must be
Ipswich. The next day I went back & found 2 birds keeping very close
company & photographed both. One is shown in the first photo at direct
link. Then on Nov 30th I found one bird feeding within a few inches of
a very dark, regular Savannah Sparrow. These are the 3 photos I really
like because of the close comparison. On Dec 1st I photographed what
must have been the same bird in the identical location. Both of the
Nov 16 birds & the Nov 30 bird were all kindly confirmed by Ian
McLaren.

BTW, if I can use wariness as a clue, the Nov 30/ Dec 1 bird could not
possibly be one of the Nov 15/16 birds. The respective trust levels
were worlds apart !
