[EBB Sightings] Swamp Sparrow at Oakland's Garretson Point

Hi EBBers,

This morning at 11:00 AM a Swamp Sparrow was feeding in the grass near the 
restroom buidling that is adjacent to the parking lot at Garretson Point ( 
see Garretson Point at the top center of this map: 
http://www.ebparks.org/files/EBRPD_files/brochure/mlk_map.pdf  ).   When a 
pedestrian walking along the bay trail that passes by the restroom 
approached, the Swamp Sparrow flew to the nearby Coyote Bushes.  There was a 
group of White-crowned Sparrows that was also feeding in the vicinity, but 
during the 5 minutes or so I observed the Swamp Sparrow, it did not seem to 
be directly associating with the White-crowned Sparrow flock.

Good birding,
Bob Battagin
