At around 4 pm today at Ridgefield NWR in Clark County, I came across what
appears to be a hybrid WHITE-THROATED X GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW. Photos
online at: http://www.scottcarpenterphotography.com/p112807051

I also came across the MALLARD X WIGEON reported by Dwight Porter on
December 7. I put photos of this duck from today online at the same link as
the sparrow. It is not clear to me how one would determine if the Wigeon
component is American or Eurasian. Regardless, my family tried to come up
with some names for it tonight at dinner: Mawigeon, Wiglard, Wigard,
Mallgeon. No consensus emerged.
