1. We saw many Puget Sound Sparrows along the brush rows beside the road.
2. Heard the song before I saw the bird and then took out time to find out what bird was making the call. Before the trip was over we had seen about 15 of them .
3. We saw about 40 or 50 pheasants today (My es timate.)
4. Then there was the small flock of sparrows ? that flashed white when they flew around near the field and the road. Breast was whitish, general body color was a light tan compared to the other sparrows. Crown was striped with dark. Very small patch on the center of the breast.
