Thanks for the comments on the Harris' sparrow images. It was not the
best of days for video with a telephoto lens but some of the shots came
out OK.

This is in response to Denny Granstrand's query about a possible
American Tree Sparrow in one of the pictures of the Harris' sparrow. I
have looked carefully at the video frame by frame and so far have found
no gray-chested sparrow with a spot on the chest. All the gray-chested
sparrows I see have the typical striped heads of either the mature or
immature white-crowned. Believe me if I find an American Tree Sparrow
in the video I will post it; out of focus or not.

other sparrows present along with the Harris':
