Fox Sparrow

As I mentioned yesterday, I saw more Fox Sparrows this past Saturday on Bayocean Spit than I have in my whole life. What was so interesting is how tolerant they were of me. At one point, while kneeling, with them just a few feet in front of me, my memory card filled up, yet they didn't even flinch while I changed out the card.
It was really fun to watch them scratch away at the leaves and debre looking for things to eat.
They would spend a fair amount of time working on one spot, then quickly move to another.

Fox Sparrow

While waiting for the Painted Bunting to show itself at Seaside this past Sunday, I saw my first Fox Sparrow. That's right, I've never seen one before. I always thought it odd that I wasn't seeing any as I don't think they are uncommon here. So while I struck out on the Painted Bunting, I did see a new bird while trying which is always a thrill.
