Black-throated Sparrow (Amphispiza bilineata) (1)
- Reported Jul 05, 2025 06:55 by Linus Blomqvist
- Scrubland north of Ballinger Canyon (SLO Co.), San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.4950633&<ll...>,-119.4950633 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S257303018 - Media: 1 Photo
- Comments: "Photos. First found on SLO side of the county border (at the exact location of this checklist pin); later also observed in SBA. Worn plumage indicates adult, possibly in post-breeding dispersal. Appears to be the first ebird record of Black-throated Sparrow in the summer months in SLO."
