[SBB] Chipping Sparrow in Sunnyvale



This morning 9/20/07 after viewing the Parasitic Jaeger (thanks to all who helped us see it!), Roland and I headed to Sunnyvale Baylands Park to get a better look at a spizella sparrow I had seen there yesterday.  We found the sparrow in almost the same spot where it was seen yesterday  - in the tall grass northwest of the Discovery Play Area where two dirt paths intersect.  Today's calm weather made it easier to carefully see the field marks so that we could confirm it was a young CHIPPING SPARROW.  The very dark eye-line went through the eye to the lores.  It had a gray rump and a streaky gray nape.
 
Take care.
