"Sooty" Fox Sparrow, left, and an aberrant, mottled one on the right, 2007-12-31

Perhaps luckily for this bird, his white markings look like the dappling effect from sunlight filtering through branches.  However, when he moved, he really stood out.

This is probably the same bird that Tom Mansfield photographed on 2007-04-05,  (2nd and 3rd photos, above) though it should have gone through a complete molt between the two dates.

This bird had a notably red tail (generally a field mark for "sooty" Fox Sparrows, but this guy's was really red.  2008-01-24.  This is the same bird as the left photo.
