At Montrose, I saw a group of photographers lying on the ground focusing on a Harris’s Sparrow foraging. Not a great photo (not sharp, lot of noise) but documents that I saw this migrating sparrow a bit out of its range.

That’s a pretty good shot of the Harris’s Sp. It’s always tough to get a good focus on birds in the grass/ground. The camera has a tough time figuring out which object to focus on. For me it usually focuses on something other than the bird!
