Observation details
Walked right up to the campsite and within 30 seconds the grassquit was in view, a great bit of luck. It spent its entire time observed working the grass seed heads in the small stripe between the road shoulder and the brushy divider between campsites 36 and 37. First located by its high pitched 'tsee' call notes that it gave when in flight. After a few minutes of observation, the bird moved back into the brush and we left.
