[EBB Sightings] Clay-colored Sparrow - Update 18

This bird was first spotted in the yard on 12/5.  It arrived with a second
wave of white crowns, which roughly doubled the number in the yard, sometime
during the week of 12/1.  I've seen it every day since, foraging with the
white and gold crowns near the feeders.  At first light this morning it was
spotted with white and gold crowns at the back yard feeder.  My guess is
that it has settled in for the winter.  It is hard to believe this is not
the same bird that wintered over last year.  A few new pictures can be found
