Seen at 5:20 by several excited birders. Firstly it came over the channel and barely landed in the much mentioned short grass. Then on into the small bald patches in the long grasses to the southwest.

Repeating rattle call in flight. Clear white outer tail and significantly heavier than the Savannah Sparrows.

Thank you to Brad and George who led us to the right area.
