I ran outside and was able to track down the Pipit. The Pipit was walking on the ground outside of the building on the concrete walkway adjacent to the building on the courthouse side. This area is a fairly heavily travelled pedestrian area usually frequented by attorneys, planners, and others going to the Courthouse or County Administration Building. But, the Pipit seemed quite at home strolling around on the concrete. The Phoebe was gleaning nearby. I didn't see this bird, but it may still be in the area. I pleasant surprise for the morning!
