I haven't seen this bird before, and it looked "just like Sibley" (just kidding). Here's what I saw: a plump-looking bird about six inches long or so with plain brown head, nape, and back; a strong white supercillium; a pale neck, breast, and belly with obvious brown streaking; a tail-bobbing motion when perched; and a high, short 'spike' call about every second or so upon occasion. I saw it only in trees and saw it for perhaps thirty seconds before it flew off. It was the unfamiliar call that first got me looking in the right place. I was observing from the grassy area next to the picnic tables that lie between the par course path and the building there. Sibley shows a white and a yellow adult, and this appeared to be a white adult to me. Other birds noted: BLACK PHOEBE, BUSHTIT, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, both CROWNED SPARROWS, and RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET (heard only). Good birding, Eric _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
