With thanks to John Gluth, who, after congratulating me on finally achieving a long sought species, cared enough to inform me of a couple of "my bads" ! First, the upstate bird (Downsville) I referenced was not N.Y.State's first Golden-crowned Sparrow, and the correct spelling of it's finder's is Lance Verderame.
