[Tweeters] Vesper Sparrow in Burien

[Tom Benedict]

We had a visit from a Vesper Sparrow at our feeder this morning. It was accompanied by a Song Sparrow, so I was able to compare closely. The Vesper was much lighter and slimmer and had the white outer tail feathers. 

Birdweb.org says that Vespers are ‘rare’ in the Puget Trough. I wonder what brought this one into the Burien area today?
