Re: [birdnet] Harris's Sparrow

["Edward Conrad" <conradedward at hotmail dot com>]

We saw the sparrow around 1 p.m.
  As we were about to leave disappointed, I took one last look and found it 
foraging around an empty plastic milk carton near some brush.  It then came 
closer to the road into the open as more and more Dark-eyed Juncos came to 
feed.  Then the juncos took off out of sight and so did the Harris's 
Sparrow. After about a minute, it came back and once again was by the milk 
carton and repeated this behavior.
  I think that patience is the best way for spotting this bird.  Just wait 
for the flock of juncos and hopefully the immature Harris's Sparrow will 
still be in their company.   Good Luck!
