This afternoon with not much over a half hour of monitoring, I saw Harris's
Sparrow at 2:55 and again at 3:30. Each time it hopped in from the left,
sampled both the sunflower tray and cracked corn tray and hopped back to cover,
all within 30 seconds. Without almost constant vigilance, it could easily feed
with someone standing at the stakeout and escape observation. But the wind was
probably why we didn't see it yesterday. It seems to be more wary of me than
the White-crowned Sparrows and might be even more wary on a windy day. Some of
the White-crowned Sparrows will continue to feed as I approach to add seed up
until I get within less than 10 feet of them, but not the Harris's. I got some
shots today showing it in the same frame as a House Sparrow and White-crowned
Sparrow and a shot showing it from slightly behind. 4 new pics here -
