Katelyn Davis Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I saw this bird in Western NY today. I am really hoping it's a White-crowned sparrow as that would be a lifer for me.... I didn't see any yellow on its head but I wanted to make sure it is not a White-throated Sparrow before I add it to my checklist. The pictures really are some of the worst I've ever gotten so I'm sorry if it isn't possible to ID based on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 This is a White-crowned. Hard to tell with the photos, but it seems to have a Pink bill and no white throat patch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Also note the pale gray auriculars and nape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
