This Morning Outside

by Diane Porter

Birdwatching Dot Com
Fairfield, Iowa

This bird visited Birdwatching Dot Com the day before Thanksgiving.

It's a... a... uh...

It's got wings of a white-throated sparrow, and the white throat, though without the crisp border. And the spot before the eye is white, not yellow. Other than that, it has the hood of a junco.

It is a hybrid of a white-throated sparrow and a dark-eyed junco. The first hybrid bird I've ever seen, not counting waterfowl.
