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.
