connorcochrane's Identifications

Tentative id. Wanted to show this is a Sooty Fox Sparrow which is rare in eastern Oregon. I presumed it to be sinousa due to a study by Peter Pyles which states that this subspecies dominated inland California while the other subspecies overlapped wintering habitat on coastal regions. I would suggest that the same goes for Oregon. Three individuals seen at once. You can find the study here:
