Hi Clarence, Saw the Clay-coloured Sparrow late this a.m. at Pleasant Hill near the Irving St. entrance. Just to let you know, we have had at least one family of N. Cardinals here this summer, and one day recently saw 2 adult males, one chasing the other off. I don't know where they nested, I think not right on our property, but somewhere nearby, possibly on Connolly Rd.

Unfortunately just glimpsed by myself, Chris Peters and Kate Steele, Fulton who was bringing up the rear just missed it. It buried itself into the bottom of the pines and refused to come out or respond. > > Of the numerous morning Blackpolls I could find just one this evening, and after not seeing the Blue Grosbeak for the entire day I spotted it near last light feeding at the top of Irving where it has been for the last 3 days. > > A very cute and very obvious baby Northern Cardinal was enjoyed by all in the Lower Field.
