Hello Tweets,

My mother and I have placed 4 photos of the unidentified Spizella sparrow that we observed yesterday near Elma,hoping we may get some feedback on the possible identity of the bird between either an abbarent Clay-colored Sparrow or a hybrid between a Chipping and Clay-colored Sparrow. We have placed the 4 photos at our yahoo site at: http://photos.yahoo.com/godwit2003/. The photos labeled sparrow1-3 were taken by mother at very close range and are of the best quality and the photo labeled sparrow4 was taken by me(Patrick) and is of less quality,but perhaps we may still get some feedback from anyone that may give us an opinion in open or privately. Nevertheless,it is a very intersting sparrow,even if it turns out to be a hybrid.

Thank you for any assistance,

Ruth and Patrick Sullivan
