HI ALL:
A Savannah Sparrow was banded here on Bainbridge Island today. I was
wondering what the status of the 3 subspecies of SAVS that overwinter here
in western WA are? I know P.s. brooksi (the breeding
subspecies) occasionally over-winters but the other
two: P.s. sandwichensis and anthinus have been recorded. What is the
wintering status of those two subspecies?
Sincerely
