Hi All,
Malia and I decided to check some local patches today, while we were checking Sparrows near the Johnston House we came across a Vesper Sparrow perched on the fence line to the west of the house itself. It was a bright individual, quite striking with a lot of brownish tan tones.
It eventually moved across to the utility wires where we got nice looks and good photos. In some of the photos the rufous lesser coverts are visible, not always easy to see.
Photos on our checklist, link below.
