Observation details
About .1 to .25 miles along road to Yontocket behind the gate at the end of Pala Road. Two female birds feeding in the road. Both birds with gray cap, bright creamy white supercilium, black lores, mask and mustache, gray cheek with black eyeline, pale yellow throat, faded black breastband, light brown breast (one bird with strong streaking on breast), tan belly, pinkish scapulars and rump, sandy brown striped back, mostly black tail. Birds were pretty tame, busily feeding, but sometimes crouching/resting ahead of us in the road. In flight they gave short high peeps. Sky ID'd the birds first and took several photos, to come.
