Bonnie - The sparrow I observed had, along with the fine streaking, a deep
buff color on the flanks, and a white belly. It did not have the central
breast spot I associate with song sparrows, but rather small dark patches on
either side of the base of the throat. The back and outer wings had a fair
bit of rust-color to them.
	I did not see a lot of behavior that would be helpful in identifying the
bird. It was a single bird, searching for food on the ground in the
underbrush near water.

	Thanks for the help
