It was a gloomy start atop the hill at South Willamette Dump. A good mix of
seed-eaters gathered before us, all looking dark, and we happened to see the
darkest Song Sparrow I think possible. Took awhile for things to lighten up;
we met the same birds in the grasses on our return, looking considerably
brighter as the fog cleared. We quit earlier than usual, as the surrounding
woodlands were quiet, in contrast to the grassy clearing.
