Checklist Comments

70 degrees F, sunny, light N breeze, with Karen and Tom Beatty for bulk of time (they arrived to the park a few minutes ahead of me while I finalized my Little Island Park list, and I spent about 20-25 minutes walking around the visitor center after they departed). Power outage at work allowed me this wonderful weekday of birding!

    Details

    Photographed in northeast corner of "kayak parking area" with large, mixed feeding flock of sparrows. Chestnut facial patterning, large size made it stand out immediately as I saw it through binoculars viewing right across Karen's shoulder from the parking lot. Interesting that last fall I observed one in this same location. Photos:
