OBOL;

This afternoon there was a large collection of sparrows in the willows just
north of the wooden bird blind on the Kingfisher Marsh Trail.  This is the
blind near the junction of the gravel road that leads down from behind the
visitor center.

As I was sorting through the numerous sparrows, an AMERICAN TREE SPARROW
popped up to perch in a willow.  It showed off its plain grayish undersides
with the distinct spot in the center of the breast, then dropped back into
the brush. Not very cooperative as it would not respond to pishing for a
photo.

Also in this group of bushes:
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW
WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW
GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW
FOX SPARROW
LINCOLN'S SPARROW
SONG SPARROW
DARK-EYED JUNCO

Good Birding
