Field Notes

Habitat:

A friend spotted this in a wetlands area. He looks like some sort of sparrow, but his color and lack of streaking is making him difficult for us to nail down....Anyone know..??

Thank you so much, Ashley....I'm just a few miles from where this pic was taken and I get Canyon Towhee visitors, so the color difference was throwing me....Looks like you nailed it... :)
