Field Notes

This brown, gray and black bird seems like a juvenile that way it flops on its belly on a warm surface. The video shows it cleaning itself and hopping around.

On a utility cover at Disneyland

It's a male, possible juvenile, or maybe some leg trouble.

Thank you both. This one looks different than my other sparrow spotting on the same day. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/737.... Is this a male or a juvenile?
