Detalles de la observación
All seen along the riparian corridor, flitting around secretively, using shrubby cover, often dense. Not extensively familiar with this species. First impression was of a streaky-breasted sparrow with some resemblance to SOSP, but seemed distinctly different. On this first individual, I specifically noted that the buffy malar really stood out on the face, and that the dark flank streaking was very fine. I subsequently got looks of varying length and quality at 5 more individuals that I was able to positively identify. Characteristics of particular note were a broad gray supercilium; conspicuous white eyering; fine dark streaking on breast and belly, with pale buffy ground color seen distinctly on several birds; and very buzzy, high 'zzeet' call unlike any vocalizations I know of SOSP (heard from 3 individuals). I saw 1 bird near the east end of the stream corridor on the property, utilizing dense branches of dead, fallen shrubs for cover. All other birds were seen above the diversion dam; 2 were together, and all the rest were apparently solitary. All birds I observed made frequent movements from perch to perch in or around dense shrubs, soon flying down into cover and out of sight.
