This was a gorgeous morning at Blue Mash, which lived up to its rep as a sparrowy locale. In addition to Fox, there were Song, Swamp, White-throated, White-crowned, Field, Chipping, and Junco, as well as towhees. Other highlights were Northern Harrier, Purple Finch, kinglets, Black-throated Blue Warbler--and Blue-headed Vireo: don't know if it was a persistently exhibitionistic individual or a bunch of them.
