Observation details
**Continuing bird present since 10/26. After over two hours of fruitless searching in the meadows, finally appeared in a clump of grasses along the main path, then flew over the trail to taller grasses around (39.092296, -76.122106), where it remained. Absolutely stellar looks at close range of this bird, which was remarkably tame and repeatedly appeared at our feet to investigate my hiss-pishes. Smaller and substantially paler than I was anticipating, with a lithe character I have not noticed with the other Ammospizas. Superlative face, breast, and back pattern need no introduction. Many photos tba
