White-throated Sparrow in Orange County

On March 13, 1921, a single White throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) appeared in a small flock, made up of about twenty Intermediate Sparrows and a few Golden-crowned Sparrows that frequented a large pile of brush about thirty feet from our house. It was very easy to get a close view of it, from the windows, as it fed most of the time about the back-yard. It was seen nearly every day until April 10, when all of the flock left.
