The Cassin's Sparrow that Mikey found can be viewed here:

After reading a brief passage from Pete Dunne's Essential Field Guide
Companion this afternoon, one line perfectly described this sparrow's
behavior: "Flushes very close and flies low and direct; drops quickly
into cover and runs immediately."

Today both Mark and I nearly (and quite literally) almost stepped on
this bird sitting right at our feet.  Good luck all!  Be patient.  And
with the coming weather, I should hope this bird sticks around for all
to enjoy.

Best,

Dan
