- Comments: "Chunky, sedate sparrow not bothered by all the activity on ball fields. Got a great look at its head (thin white eye ring, facial pattern subtler than Song w a faint white “ear” patch on gray cheek) and breast (fine streaking limited to upper chest); did not manage to see white outer tail feathers. Found on yesterday’s BBC walk, refound by MCHL who somehow managed to spot it in the joyful ball field chaos."

- Comments: "Continuing this afternoon near ball field 1 (found by Chris L. yesterday). Rotund sparrow with white eye ring, brown cheek patch, and prominent white line under cheek. Loads of kids doing sports games…often flushed, but returning to a specific patch of tall grass. (40.6615875, -73.9761813). Image
