Outside my office window, along with half a dozen White-throated Sparrows, there is a new bird. New to me anyway. First glance, it looked like a Chipping. Dark line through the eye, rufous cap...but then I noticed the faint streaks on its breast, the grey collar, the black and rufous back. Chipping crossed with Lincoln's. The internet was no help. Obviously I was putting the wrong words in the search bar. Sibleys, however, came through.
Unless someone tells me differently, this is a Swamp Sparrow. Nice to get a lifer. Especially right outside my window. Best part, it's been here over an hour so Ray and I have both seen it. Cute bird.
