[EBB Sightings] Livermore Swamp Sparrow

Yesterday, 3/7, we saw the previously described SWAMP SPARROW in the 
Springtown area of Livermore.  We arrived about 9:15 am and were there 
about 1� hours before sighting the bird, whom we watched for about 10 
minutes.  The bird was in the same area described by others, just before 
the barbed wire fence.  A fellow birder that we waited with said she had 
arrived an hour before we did.  Patience definitely pays off with this bird.

There were lots of other birds to watch while we waited.  Highlights 
included a GOLDEN EAGLE and at least one SORA.  This is a nice spot for 
hawk-watching.
