Hi Tracey,

That is indeed a rare find for this time of year! According to Lowery's
seasonal occurrences bar chart, the late date for wintering White-crowned
Sparrow is May 17 and the early date for returning is October 8th. Your
observation is of ornithological interest and I encourage you to document
it. Please consider entering it into eBird as an incidental observation and
providing a detailed description. And if you see the bird again, try to get
some photos of it.

Thank you for reporting your observation to LABBIRD. (And keep those
Swallow-tailed Kite reports coming ;)

Just observed a mature white crowned sparrow in my garden in Abita
Springs. Seems like the wrong time of year; reporting here in case it is
noteworthy.
