I should have mentioned in my previous message the sparrow I encountered was
not singing . There are to my knowledge no breeding references for Vesper
Sparrow on Whidbey Island and I'm not (yet) claiming this bird is setting up
housekeeping. I'll try and get out there early tomorrow and relocate the
bird. I had little time Thursday to see if it engaged in any activity other
than foraging.
The Western Bluebirds were seen again last evening by Sarah Schmidt, the
birder who 1st called in the sighting.
