Yes. This is an "Ipswich Sparrow". A subspecies or race of the Savannah Sparrow. They have a restricted breeding range where they nest ONLY on Sable Island, Nova Scotia; however, I believe they breed with regular Savannah Sparrows on the mainland in Nova Scotia creating intergrades. They are regular in fall migration and more rarely in mid-winter along the NH Seacoast. They are most often found along the immediate shoreline east of Rt. 1A. They are identified by their overall pale frosty appearance as compared to the "regular" Savannah Sparrow.
