Here are some photos of the Harris's Sparrow taken at Pt. Isabel this
morning:

Thanks to Sheila Dickie for finding and reporting the bird. The
mysterious woman referred to in Stephanie Floyd's post was my wife,
Carol Chetkovich.
Speaking of Pt. Isabel, I was there last Saturday 11/15 doing the
Audubon California/SFBBO/PRBO shorebird census, and didn't see the
Harris's Sparrow, but did see a flock of 12 Tundra Swans flying south
over the bay in both Contra Costa and Alameda county airspace. Later in
the day we saw what were presumably the same 12 flying back north into
Marin County. I understand they were seen by several other parties of
shorebird counters. First I've seen on the Bay. Sorry for the late
post, but the birds weren't very chaseable.
