Clay-colored Sparrow

[sadler <sadler at xmission dot com>]

Yesterday, June 1, I observed a Clay-colored Sparrow while doing a 
Breeding Bird Survey in the West Desert.  The sparrow was in Millard Co. 
on the South side of the Black Rock-Garrison Road 4 miles East of 
Crystal Peak.  I first heard the bird giving a 3 or 4 single-note raspy 
buzz song similar to a Brewer's Sparrow but much shorter.  I then saw 
the sparrow with its' strongly contrasting head markings and pale lores. 
 Unfortunately my camera is in the shop being repaired.
