Subject: [sbcobirding] Clay-colored Sparrow
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.
