Observation details
Chunky bird with a dark cap and gray breast, no white or striping on the head - first impressions. Then it turned it's head and I saw the light colored forehead. Before I could get a picture, A WCSP chased it off it's perch. I waited and waited (almost an hour) for it to show itself again, even using playback. The only thing that responded to the playback was the Song Sparrow and the WCSP. Finally the GCSP landed on a some-what visible perch in the shrubs where I was able to get a picture that at least confirms the sighting. I go out every morning looking for one of these among the WCSP, but don't really think I'm going to see one. Well - always be prepared for the unexpected! A nice treat on a beautiful morning.
