Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Barbara L. Wilson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: A good size brown sparrow with white outer tail feathers is likely to be a Vesper Sparrow except in winter. I probably wouldn't call this one if I hadn't seen it better before + after. | The original documentation form event occurred around mid-morning.

Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: Bright sunlight, mid morning. The bird was often N. + NE of me but circled around. 30' at closest, no binoculars.
