All,
About 9 this morning I had the BREWER'S SPARROW on the west bank of the
creek (Guadalupe River at this point?), east of the road between the Water
District Pond and the creek 200 -250 feet north of where the access road makes
a left turn toward the north. The BRSP was actively feeding a
couple feet away from the base of a bush on the edge of the water (a beige bench
is perhaps 20 feet south of the bush). The bush itself was full of
BUSHTITS with a few spilling out onto the ground near the BRSP. Something
then spooked the Bushtits and they flew, in a stream, across the
creek. At that point the BRSP went into the base of the bush and
disappeared. Unfortunately, after that my attention was divided as I
wanted to make sure that BRSP hadn't flown across with the Bushtits (don't know
why it would). Some motion was still detected in the bush after
that but the bird was not seen again. Later Mike Mammoser assured me
that this was the same bush near which the BRSP had been seen on
Sunday morning (I had assumed it was seen further upstream). Lots of
YELLOW WARBLERS and calling NUTMEG MANNIKINS just downstream of where the BRSP
was seen.
Good luck,
Bob Reiling
