[CT Birds] Oregon Junco and White-throated Sparrow X Dark-eyed Junco in Ashford

[Mark Szantyr]

Well, even though I hate winter, this was a great day.  This morning I found 
a first winter female Oregon ssp. Dark-eyed Junco at my feeder in Ashford 
and while studying this bird, I found a bird that is apparently a hybrid 
between White-throated Sparrow and Dark-eyed Junco.  I have posted photos of 
both on Surfbirds.com, North American Stop Press page.  If you are 
interested in seeing these birds ( in a more or less orderly and controlled 
manner as parking here is horrendous with the snow), email me and I will 
give you details.
