Harris' Sparrow
Zonotrichia querula
Apr. 23 Santa Barbara area, Santa Barbara Co., Calif.: 1 h.o.n'y near Goleta
at a feeder where it had wintered. The bird sang back and
forth with me, responding to my imitations, but would never come
out of the dense undergrowth - we never did see the bird. Most
of the song phrases given were 3 note, monotone, high-pitched
whistles similar in quality to the song of White-throated Sparrow.
As an introduction to another richer song, it gave perfect
imitations of House Sparrow calls.
Nov. 23 Furnace Creek Ranch, Inyo Co., Calif.: 2
