This morning there's a bright Clay-colored Sparrow at Elings Park, first spotted by Zach Phillips. When I first saw it, it was between the stone bench and the restoration area. Unfortunately the sparrow was associating pretty closely with a large flock of Lesser Goldfinches--when the flock flies, so does the sparrow.
Also at the park was a flyover Osprey. There were two Loggerhead Shrikes, one in hot pursuit of the other.
For those of you interested in dragonflies, there has been a rare Pale-faced Clubskimmer near the Calle Montilla gate for the last two days.
