Allison and I went to Johnson Ferry North Unit in the afternoon on
Thursday, 10/27, Sunday, 10/30, and today, 11/1.  Each time, we walked
the petroleum pipeline cut up the middle of the sparrow field,  around
the edges of the gravel parking lot and up the trail to the boardwalk
area and back.  Over the three visits we've observed 10 sparrow species
including a HENSLOW'S and GRASSHOPPER SPARROWs this evening.  Over all
three visits there have been numerous SONG, SWAMP, and WHITE-THROATED
SPARROWs, and EASTERN TOWHEEs.  Below is a list of the additional
sparrows (and other notables) we have seen on each day:
