[EBB Sightings] White Throated Sparrow at Lake Merritt

Well, around behind Children's Fairyland near a bottle-brush plant, at 
the top of the hill above the lake. I watched a flock of mixed 
white-crowned and golden-crowned sparrows, and among 'em was a 
tan-striped white-throated sparrow - my first anywhere in the park.

Saw lots in Chicago, where the ratio is reversed - white-throated 
sparrows are the norm, and ho-hum another one, while people point out 
the odd white-crowned eagerly.
