Ok, I guess not-so-mysterious (feeling a bit dumb) -- SAVANNAH SPARROWS. 

Thanks for the assist!

Subject: [obol] Mystery birds at Pixieland, ID help?

I saw three birds at Pixieland, across the river on logs in the mud, flying to 
the middle to pick at the moss on a log, then back to the bank. Too far to get 
really good looks (didn't have my scope along), but their markings reminded me 
of American Pipits - my impression of their behavior was like Song Sparrows.

I wasn't able to try to get a better angle before they moved on. Two truly 
terrible pix here:

Any assistance appreciated.
