Observation details

Very secretive and hard to observe in contrast to the Brewers and Black-throated Sparrows also seen in this area, mostly seen flying low to the ground, from one place to another, where it was usually hidden until I came closer, but in one case though briefly, I observed his characteristic "skylarking behavior" and also two or three times at the beginning of my observation I heard him singing. Then the bird disappeared and fell silent until the end of my observation. Birds, or birds (although I have never seen two at the same time, it is not excluded that alternately I saw two) showed typical behavior of early breeding, perhaps nest is already establish? Drab looking sparrow, but some "reddish-brown" spots I noticed on his back, his rump also appeared to be reddish, crown finely streaked, whitish throat, streaked on lower flanks, white wing-bars, pale bill.
