Melospiza melodia
Song Sparrows are not very common here, and this is the first time I have ever seen one. This bird sat patiently in the shade of the pear tree, on the fence, for quite some time. Then, after about five minutes, it flew off. I saw one again early on (tomorrow) Fri 5/7/2010, foraging around on the ground, but did not have camera ready at the time.
