Seward, Alaska
I was searching for the
reported male WILSON’S WARBLER at the red “Accentor House” at the corner of
Madison and Second when I heard a buzzy “Zoo-zippety-zee-zee-zuuuuh.” It was a
pretty decent rendition of a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW song for late October even
though it was a bit weak and trailed off.
After a few minutes, I saw a
SONG SPARROW chasing another sparrow through the leafless alder thicket.
Finally, they took a break and I was able to get some photos to confirm the
identity of the handsome, bright, juvenile White-crowned Sparrow. Seward usually gets at least a few of these
birds for the winter. It was nice to see one again.
Happy Birding!
