[EBB Sightings] Pleasanton Birding

I have a Tan Stripped White Throated Sparrow in my backyard going on three weeks.
I have managed to see the bird four times for short periods of time.
This morning the WTSP spent several minutes so I was able to get very good looks.
At one point it was sitting on the fence, check'n things out.
I also had a Hermit Thrush this morning.
Driving south on HY 680 near Mission there was a Sharp Shinned Hawk circling rather low over the road.
Traffic slowed to a near stand still, I think the SSH was trying to use the heat from 
the auto exhust to climb up and get air under its wings to fly off.
