An extremely pale colored juvenile Broad-winged Hawk visited my feeding
station on Friday. I've never seen one so pale. It was almost completely
white except for the dark wing tips which were viable when it flew directly
over me.

An interesting sparrow joined the flock of Chipping Sparrows on Friday, but
I couldn't get a photo. It was about the same size but had a prominent
yellow-orange eyebrow stripe and a grey cheek patch. I'm leaning toward
Nelson's but can't be positive at this point. I wasn't able to watch the
feeders yesterday so I don't know if it's still here. Hopefully the flock
will show up today and it will be with them.

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are still frequenting the feeders.
