HI ALL:
I just finished reading an article in the October issue of "Birding" by
Kimball Garrett et al. about wintering Fox Sparrow populations and I was
wondering about the wintering/ migrant Fox Sparrows in WA. I assumed that
most of the wintering birds are of the "Sooty" Fox Sparrow type. I have
heard of "Red" Fox Sparrows in migration and winter, but has anyone
compiled records of this type? I have seen the "Slate-colored" Fox Sparrow
once in winter in western WA. Has anyone else? What type of Fox Sparrows
are seen in Eastern WA in migration and in winter?
Sincerely
