Hi, all!
Took visiting birders Heather and Jack up to Sparrow Road today, and this
time it lived up to its name! About halfway up we ran into Dan Jones who
told us about some Green-tailed Towhees and other goodies back on Seven
Mile, so we headed back there; got everything BUT the towhees, I think, but
the best highlights along this hitherto unexplored dirt road (that twisted
and turned and finally dumped us off on Pipeline Road) were a Say's Phoebe
and Field Sparrow! Some photos can be seen on my Facebook page:
