Hello all, Today I had a single Vesper Sparrow at the metal gate on 632 approximately .2 mile from the intersection of 657 and 632. Also there were several Savannah Sparrows running around in the grass and wildflowers..... Near Grafton School in Clark Co. I picked 5 other sparrow species.... Towhee Field Song Junco White crown Along the Shenandoah River I picked up Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers and one Great Blue Heron. William ps. This Vesper was decidedly different in color.... The underparts were sort of almost buffy but more just off white in color, the head markings were also less pronounced. The white eye ring that was so very pronounced on previous birds was much less evident, and the moustachial and malar markings were more subdued as well. The streaking on the breast seemed heavier and darker.
