Observation details
One Song Sparrow in particular stood out....it was a richer red than the others around it, and it was constantly on the trunks of Douglas Firs, checking crevices. At times it appeared to be getting seed from the shrubs which we put out, then flying to the Douglas Fir trunks as if it was storing the seed. Or, perhaps it was after larvae?? Uncertain but it was such different behaviour from the other Song Sparrows which were feeding on seed we put in the shrubs..and were either on the shrub, or foraging the fallen seed below. Just an observation but it was constantly flying to, and hopping up/down the trunk, accessing crevices.
