I believe this is a Savannah Sparrow. It looks a lot flashier than I am 
accustomed to, but photos often look better to me than real life. It is a 
widespread species with many subspecies. Almost always in places with beach 
grass at the coast. The team I was on at the Yaquina CBC could not find a 
Savannah Sparrow despited concerted effort. In their place at the North Jetty 
we found Lincoln's Sparrows. Not expected at all.   Lars
