Observation details
Had close visual with binoculars and audio recording. Skulked low in thick cattails giving single metallic chip. Same location as before. Gave a playback chip and it became constantly vocal and several great looks. Grayish side of head and underside, sides buff colored. No central breast spot, brown cap and reddish-brown back, tail and wings. Black eyeline behind eye. Chip unlike any other sparrow. Best encounter by far that I’ve had with this bird. Most of my experiences have been with the bird hiding in the cattails with brief glimpses. The bird hardly ever sits still, moving frequently and cover a good amount of territory. Audio posted.
