Pretty great outing.

The bucket of sparrows I had just looked at were visited by (an unsuccessful) Sharpie.

Fall in the air.   Vesper was a light look....best guess scenario.

RuBl's were awesome, right overhead.  Chirping and a few "rusty gates".

Was really hoping for a Grasshopper Sparrow.....next time ??
