Observation details
A lifer! Males had yellow on back of neck, black body, and some white on wings. Females had yellowish brown plumage, bold head striping, and somewhat thick beak. See photos. They were all in a bush until we drove up and accidentally startled them. They all scattered among the grasses and fence posts, the males singing their bubbly, metallic song. There were likely more that I didn’t see, as trying to count them as they hid in the grass was difficult.
