- Comments: "Continuing find by Gabe Willow! Still at the saucy elm enclosure near Dog Beach, as reported by Forrest earlier this morning. Chunky sparrow-like bird with a fat conical bill, bright yellow chest and supercilium, also some yellow on the malar, upper parts chestnut brown, not too dissimilar from the House Sparrows around. Silent. Feeding on the ground sometimes, but perched up nicely once for a perfect photo op. Lifer for me."
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
