Observation details

Continues at this location. Got some good looks when the bird flushed weakly out of the long, tangled grass. Flew only a few feet when flushed. Made occasional, brief appearances to tops of grass and then would drop down to ground quickly. Quickly ID'd with white central head stripe and uniquely patterned nape. This particular bird had a rather darkish orange color similar to Nelson's sparrow. Showed some good field marks. Especially the nape patterning.
