Hi Tweeters,

I have a Harris Sparrow at my feeder. The "book" says he's not suppose to
be here. He arrived October 31 and has been seen daily ever since. Even
thought I'd seen a second one one day.

I did get a couple of partial pictures. What caught my attention the first
time I spotted him was the white patches on his upper breast. There is a
black spotted "necktie, speckled/striped crown, and a pinkish bill. He is a
lighter color than the other sparrows, more of a yellowish tan or light
brown.
