This afternoon on the Loop Trail at Cheam Lake (about 150 yards in, right where the trees start to grow and the trail goes slightly uphill) I was clearing some large branches off the trail when a call note of a sparrow caught my ear. Turns out a Swamp Sparrow was providing free advice on branch tossing techniques.
I think this is species 185 for the park. Funny, I just realized that on the last day of last month I also saw a Swamp Sparrow. ;D
This cute little Pacific Wren also had a suggestion or two to share. Despite my noisy activity, there were quite a few birds about including a flock of Black-capped Chickadees, a Ruby-crowned and several Golden-crowned Kinglets, a Downy Woodpecker and a couple Song Sparrows keeping me company in the rain.
