[EBB Sightings] Juvenile Black-Throated Sparrow at Berkeley Marina

Hello Everybody,

Mike Feighner asked me to give an update on the Juvenile Black-Throated 
Sparrow at the Berkeley Marina. I was there at around 4pm today and it 
was still in the vicinity of the fire pit described in previous emails. 
When I was there it was actually near the outside tables of the 
restaurant that's behind you as you face the firepit and also near the 
boat trailer parked next to those tables. A little while before I got 
there it had been seen at the firepit again.

The bird doesn't have any black on the throat but there's definitely a 
distinct white supercilium. The bird also has a noticeably streaky 
breastband.

Here are some directions again if you need them. Take 80 to the 
University exit in Berkeley. You'll want to go west on University 
towards the water. Turn right onto Marina which curves to the left and 
turns into Spinnaker.  Drive west on
Spinnaker to the end and park.  Walk to the bay and turn south on the 
paved
trail and just before you reach the mouth of the marina there is a sign 
that
says OCSC sailing.  Behind the sign and the bushes is a large fire pit 
with
brush in it.

Good Luck,
Louis Libert
