Observation details
Continuing bird present for over a week. Missing in action when I first arrived. Eventually refound by Mark Rauzon sitting motionless and silent on a low branch in a coyote bush. We were then able to follow it along for about an hour, watching it sing, bathe, and chase other sparrows around. Gray sparrow with rich rufous color interspersed on the upper parts. Generally plain breast with subtle rufous necklace. Whitish throat, faint eye ring, yellow shoulder sometimes visible. For most of the time we were watching it it was around 37°53'23.2"N 122°19'10.8"W, right off the main path and further west than I think most people have encountered it. This is right by several sizable puddles in the path.
