Observation details

Continuing from Killian, Stephen, and Kristin's sightings earlier this week and this morning. I picked up the bright, chirp calls on Merlin 4 times only to lose the recording because it was not automatically saving as it used to before the upgrade... 5th time was the charm. David S and I staked out the mid North side of the pond for nearly an hour and a half trying to get good looks and a saved recording. The sparrow was extremely elusive and flighty. David got the best look while I was intent on getting the recording. Go ahead and laugh at our excited whispers on the recording.
