A Clay-colored Sparrow was found Oct. 12 in the Gordon Head area of
Saanich (Victoria). It was "confirmed" by a number of birders this morning.
If accepted by the local records committee, this will be a first for the
Victoria Checklist Area and, I beleive, a first for Vancouver Island.

The bird is in the UVIC allotment gardens on Gordon Head Rd. at Feltham Rd,
Saanich.
