Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis)Observer
barbini_wxDescription
I think this is a pink sided junco due to the brown on the sides and the back(?) I'm not totally sure, though. However, there are a few pink-sided and white-winged juncos that do visit our feeders.

Alberta Slate-colored Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca ssp. altivagans)Observer
liamsinghDescription
Comments: ***Fox Sparrow (ssp. altivagans). Rare for Victoria and Vancouver Island.
In the parking lot at Kings Pond feeding with other sparrows, it stayed for the winter I think. A pure Red FOSP would have thicker more-defined back streaks and a more defined auricular patch, but the streaks on this bird are thin and small. Seen and photographed by other birders, I only have this photo. More photos of the same bird can be found here:

Here's another Fox Sparrow from Victoria BC with very similar plumage, its probably another altivagans:

Actually, I found it in the tree like this. Guess I'll have to keep an eye open for a shrike!

Brewer's Sparrow (Spizella breweri)Observer
peterolsoyDescription
Just a brighter Brewer's Sparrow, or possibly a Clay-colored Sparrow? The pattern seemed fairly striking in the field, not like a usual Brewer's (much more common here).

Puget Sound White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys ssp. pugetensis)Observer
abcdefgewingDescription
This yellow-billed form of White-crowned Sparrow is rare here. Note also the short primary extension and the extensively brown flanks and brown back, unlike Gambel's WCSP. Hard to distinguish from Nuttall's, but that subspecies is nonmigratory and is not known to have ever occurred here, far inland.

On bench on north side of Steenbock library. Next to large windows. Not sure if Bird Collision Corps is interested in reports outside of monitoring periods, but figured I'd include it.
