    Details

    Flock in typical fashion hidden in short grasses near parking. I heard their distinctive calls and then they all flew towards the lighthouse. Warm pale yellow below. Not lesser goldfinches nor savanah sparrows which are more compact birds with different calls and forms, the only other birds in this habitat, but have different calls and flight patterns and shapes.
