Eastern White-crowned Sparrow--10+
GAMBEL's WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW--1 imm. (photos)

Walter Ellison and Co. reported this subspecies today.

Bill and all,
    Since I had never heard of "Gambel's White-crowned", I grabbed my
Sibley - the big one, not the little one. Apparently he never heard of it
either. He mentions an east and west Taiga and a Interior West. Is Gambel's
a new sub-species or a renamed old one? Is it the same as one of the ones
mentioned?
