Mindy Smith Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Seen on Bob Jones Trail today near Avila Beach in Central Costal California. Never ID'd a rufous but the cap was not split as seen in white-crowned so I think it might be (first 3 photos). Sorry for the sun glare. The next are the warbler on the swaying branch so only caught pieces. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The first bird is 100% a Rufous-crowned Sparrow. Doesn’t look anything like a Tree Sparrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) lol 1 is definitely not an ATSP, considering the location is coastal cali. Rufous-crowned Sparrow is correct. edit:sniped Edited February 28, 2021 by Hasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird-Boys Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Where was the Rufous-crowned sparrow on the trail? Was it right by the trail or up on a hill? Or closer to the creek mouth? just curious because these birds don't come down out of the hills around Avila very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
