观察细节
It didn't take long before we heard one of these guys in the area where we last encountered it about almost two weeks ago; within a few minutes we spotted it singing from a small stick or twig in some tallish grass up the hill from the chain-link fence. It was a good distance away, and unlike on our previous visit, it didn't move around very much. If anything, it would intermittently disappear and then pop up on another nearby tuft of grass. Christine and Camden got out the scope and were able to watch it for a few minutes, while Gary pulled out the recording equipment and was able to get a decent recording. After about ten minutes we saw a second bird fly into the spot with the first one and disappear into the grass. We couldn't tell if it was a male or a female, but we didn't see any signs of agonistic behavior or territoriality. In fact, we didn't see much of anything. We heard at least one bird sing (from what seemed like a slightly more distant spot) a few more times before we moved on to explore a few other areas. A little later we were investigating the grassy areas on the eastern side of the airport property along Hotel Road. All three of us were pretty sure we heard another GRSP singing from farther up the hill. But we were unable to get a visual on it, and since there were definitelty a number of Savannah Sparrows moving around and singing in the same general area, we couldn't completely rule out the possibility that we were catching the tail end of a distant SAVS song even farther away. For a little background on our ongoing GRSP adventures at the airport, see also our checklists S177957572 from May 29, S178708255 from June 1, and S179249046 from June 2. That last one also has a lot of photos.
