Observation details
Continuing from earlier today, found by Alvaro J. Shy at first, but then ranging around the short grasses and coyote bushes at the end of Garcia Avenue. Seen well for about an hour with Alvaro J., Chris H., and Dessi S.. Large sparrow-like brown bird. Streaked brown on a buffy underside. Brown tones above, bold head pattern with heavy conical gray bill, and white wing patches visible on the ground and in flight. Would occasionally raise feathers on the crown of head. In flight, tips of outer tail feathers are white. It gave a soft 'wheat' note three times that I noted. Photos.
