Beside the road up to the mansion at Duncan's Cove I spotted an usual sparrow. It was foggy with a light rain falling at the time. The bird sported a pale white throat outlined with black vertical stripes. Overall the appearance was "Lapland Longspur" in coloration, albeit lighter, and with a rufous wing patch(juvenile). It responded to the call of the Baird's Sparrow. Unfortunately I didn't get a good look and it didn't come out when I returned with my camera just minutes later. This bird will need confirmation. With the crummy weather upon us for the next few days it just may hang around..........

I believe I had one here. I tried to get a photo, would have been Wednesday. The call was different and it was calling. 

I have a number of small flitty birds moving through the tree tops at the moment and lots of raspy twits.
