|
|
The documentation form by Lilian Serbousek is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [..] -seen with Water Pipits, Vesper Sparrow and Golden Plover and Horned Larks - looked quite similar to Vesper Sparrow-white outer tail feathers, buffy above and streaked, white below with streaks on breasts & sides (couldn't see bill well at this distance) [...] close enough to see bill was long and slender (like Vesper's pushed down and forward) also was pinkish and dark at tip (lower mandible was lightest) was sure it wasn't a Water Pipit because of streaked back, breast coloration and leg coloration - bird walked and ran, Savannah and Vesper Sparrow that were also on the ground hopped, flight was undulating and was more graceful compared to low buzzy flights of the two sparrows, the wings appeared pointed and long (as a whole the bird looked more slender) not as vocal as the Water Pipits, notes were higher and thinner (1 syllable instead of two) then Water Pipits

Jamaica, Iowa (Guthrie County), in my back yard.

Brown, Dick Mooney, Margaret Brooke, Ruth Buckles, Eugene Armstrong, Barney Cook, Dean Mosman, and Diane Mosman. | Elimination of similar species: My first sight told me it was something different than a White-throated, White-crowned or Harris Sparrow. I immediately called for my wife to come quickly and observe him with me. We sit by the hour at our large window where I have my desk and bird books and binoculars, scope, recorders and camera. We had an excellent view of him at close range in good light. | The original documentation form event lasted from 17:15:00/17:20:00.
