This afternoon during lunch we watched our FOS American Tree Sparrow. I first saw, perched in a scrub oak, a breast with a prominent spot; then the bird came down to feed on the ground and showed off prime plumage -- reddish cap, eye stripe that stopped (more or less) at the eye, spiffy back feathers.
I checked our records1999-2013; they show the average date for our first one as Oct. 29; first dates range from Oct. 12 to Nov. 6.
