Hi Tweeters,
Five White-throated Sparrows for my boys and I this morning in the raspberry fields at 1311 Mission Road in Everson. Four white-striped together in my binoculars, and one tan-striped also. Found among dozens of White-crowned Sparrows and allies. This flock has been here all winter, but this is the first time I've found White-throated among them. In my yard I also have a continuing distinctly white female Purple Finch that I consider a candidate for Eastern ssp. Pictures on eBird. Currently Mission Road is snow-covered, wind-swept, and virtually unplowed. Snow coming down but not has hard as earlier.
In Everson,
Stephen Chase
