[EBB Sightings] Pine Canyon/Mt Diablo - Rufous-crowned Sparrow

A quick post to add to Paul Schorr's that we too were headed up Pine 
Canyon between 9.30 and 11.00am today (3/18) and among the usual  cast 
of suspects we did catch great views of a pair of adult Rufous-crowned 
Sparrows above the old dam and where the 'hole in the rock' is found at 
Nature Walk-Stop #4, as Hugh Harvey had indicated in his post of 3/17. 
Our impression was that the individuals we saw were smaller (4-5 inches 
at most) than Sibley indicates adults to be (6 inches) - Also spied 
elusive wrentits where Shell Ridge Loop Trail comes off the main trail 
up the canyon. No views or hearings of orange crowned warblers.

Beautiful day for the walk!
