The north coast of Brooklyn has seen it's third megararity of late winter into spring with yesterday's find by Doug Gochfeld of Sooty Fox Sparrow.
The subspecies of the Fox Sparrow family from the Pacific Northwest is only the 4th northeastern USA record.
Look for the bird at Pier 3 southwest corner, skulking in the underbrush by junipers.
Sooty Fox sparrows are blander brown back with gray faces compared to our eastern redder Fox sparrows.
