Went to Discovery this afternoon but had only about an hour before the unexpected rain started. Managed a first of year WARBLING VIREO and a bright, beautiful hybrid WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW x GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW hanging with some Golden-crowned Sparrows near the north meadow. It looked just like a clean adult White-crowned, with the black eye-stripe, clean white supercillium, and black lateral crowned stripes but it had a golden forehead in front of its white crown stripe. First I've seen like it!
