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.
