   Details

   Responding to imitated call, same location where we’ve seen them in past years. What was presumably the same bird responded twice, once on our way up and again two hours later when we passed the same spot on our way back. It was calling from a dense clump of oaks and firs on the hillside above the fire road and did not move to where we could see it. Call a repetitive toot-toot-toot... with a frequency of about 1/sec, slightly more irregular in frequency and less metallic than the call of a chipmunk. Would have taped it if I'd known it wouldn't be accepted otherwise -- we've seen and heard them regularly at this site for years.

32. Bell's Sparrow

    Number observed:  4

    Details

    A group of four juveniles all together. Young birds and very worn adults typically show up at this location in late June and July, but we have never seen adults earlier in the season to suggest that they breed here. Presumably these birds that arrive here in mid-summer have dispersed post-breeding from somewhere else in the area.
