Sorry Resin, you're right, the golden-crowned don't really show up here until early winter but I thought they might be here since they usually stay with the white-crowned sparrows which are on the coast year round and which I also photographed.

My Sibley Guide for the Savannah shows a very thin yellow strip on the coast and in the area where the photo was taken. Could it have migrated north?

Here's another photo-sure wish I could have seen the front of the bird.
