White-crowned Sparrow! Normally a western bird, and quite rare this Far East. It’s also the polar opposite of the white-throated, common here but rare out west.

That’s not why it’s unusual…. :- )
White-crowned sparrow! I see about three of those per week in fall (then again, I’m in Sparta). I don’t normally see them in spring, though.
Why is this particular White-crowned Sparrow unusual?
I think I see a band on the bird’s right leg…
