[Tweeters] White-throated Sparrow in Issaquah? (Eric Snyder)

[Ted Ryan]

I saw and heard a White-throated Sparrow on the Queets River a number of years ago, early November.  The song was clear and crisp.  I was really surprised to hear the song that late in the season.  I have also heard a variation of their song about this time of year in Kitsap County but did not get a visual ID.  I chalked those up to maybe a Golden-crowned or White-crowned Sparrow with a confused song memory as it wasn't obviously the song of a White-throated Sparrow.

I was taking out trash and noticed a small sparrow on the neighbor's fence that didn't look quite? right for any of our regulars; and when it turned to face me, had a very distinct white patch running from its chin to the top of its breast.  Without having that face view, I was prepared to shrug it off as an oddly-patterned White-crowned; but, a White-throated would be a cool find out here.
