This morning, 6/25/07, I went looking for the Sage
Sparrow at Skyline Ridge OSP previously reported by Garth Harwood. I found
his small cairn but no sparrows. Giving in to restless feet, I walked
further along the Ridge Trail towards Alpine Pond. Not far past Garth's
cairn, perhaps .8 miles from the parking lot, is a wire safety fence where the
trail crosses a rocky outcrop. A 100' past were two SAGE SPARROWs.
They quickly disappeared, but after a while quiet pishing brought one up for
close mutual inspection. Perhaps an hour later, on my way back to the car,
I had Sage Sparrow encounters on both sides of the rocky outcrop. Always
(at least) two, closely associating birds; I assume a single
pair. All this was from 8:45 to 10:15.
Other birds: a LAZULI BUNTING; WRENTITs, PURPLE
FINCHes; ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERs; two WHITE-THROATED SWIFTs flew up the valley
below me.
