Observation details

Looks like the Western race, with grayish supercilium and yellow mostly restricted to the undertail coverts and vent area. Constant tail wagging, dull brown cap with rusty tinges, pale gray supercilium, warm, mouse-brown back with olive-tinge, pale-ish gray below with just a hint of diffuse streaking, white spots in tail. It was found first in New Native plantings area in same general area reported by the original finder, Steve Perry, and appeared to stay in this general area through the duration of time we were there, periodically disappearing. . Sometime times associated with YRWAs, or a few White-crowns and Savannah Sparrows, but mostly solitary, feeding at the base of plantings in shadow, and occasionally calling its distinctive sharp call note. First found at 0930hr, and soon afterward Jan Nordenberg joined me, and then another birder later joined us, and we continued viewing it intermittently until about 10:30 or so.[SES]. Photos
