Individual #3
Observation details
The flock totaled 9 individuals (counted, not estimated.) The following pictures were taken during a 4 minute period, going from bird to bird in the flock.. After eliminating known and probable duplicated individuals, we ended up with photos of six individuals. The birds were active, ducking in and out of Mormon Tea bushes, so this was not an easy task. We also had one team member scanning the flock and doing ID's on the spot. We saw NO signs of any Bells Sparrows. Every bird appeared to be a Sagebrush Sparrow. To be conservative, we are counting the birds as 6 Sagebrush (with photo documentation) and 3 Bells/Sagebrush. Our impression is that they were all Sagebrush (9 individuals) Spot seen: 36.70709, -120.80566
