For the record, I wasn't editorializing about the kite flier's rights to also be enjoying the park. It was perfect kite flying weather.
I was merely passing on a possible reason for the bird's departure.
Who doesn't enjoy a good kite flight?

Thru the winter months for some unknown reason this has had a strange fascination for the sparrow type birds incl Cardinals and white crowned and song sparrows. I don't have a clue what is attracting them, but they seem to be having a good time investigating this unnatural thicket.
