From Bill Asteriades: 01/26/14 - Rocky Hill, Rocky Hill Meadows -- SAVANNAH "IPSWICH" SPARROW (very rare inland) feeding in the cut corn field near the tree line at the intersection of Great Meadow Road and N Meadow Lane with 10 "regular" savannah sparrows. This subspecie breeds on Sable Island, Nova Scotia and traditionally winters on sand dunes along the coast. It represents the first inland sighting in CT per eBird, and differs from the "Ipswich" Sparrow reported last month which was recently changed to unidentified based on a couple of possible conflicting field marks. Thanks to Julian Hough and Greg Hanisek for confirming the ID.
