This is a Lark Sparrow that I spotted and photographed on
Friday. It was a surprise to find this bird here in Elkton as it is normally
seen in Southern and Central Oregon. In
fact, in looking at the reported observations in eBird it has only been reported
once before in Douglas and Coos Counties.
We saw this Lark Sparrow and one more mixed in with several American
Goldfinches during our morning walk. They are striking birds with the sharp
contrasting colors of facial stripes.
Another clue which is not evident in the photo is a black central spot
on a plain stripe less breast.
