I easily found the leucistic Chipping Sparrow again this morning at
George Washington's Ferry Farm in Fredericksburg. I located the bird
this time in the "back meadow" moving between the ground and the low
Sycamore branches. The bird is readily identifiable amongst the
abundant amount of other sparrows, as it is nearly all white.
Sparrows seen in quantity today include Chipping, Song, White-throated,
and Dark-eyed Junco. Others include Field (2), Savannah (1), and
Eastern Towhee (1).
Additional highlights were Red-shouldered Hawk, Hermit Thrush (2), Brown
Creeper, Y-B Sapsucker, and Eastern Phoebe.
