Had the Clay-colored Sparrow and Orange-crowned Warbler this afternoon around 3:30 or so and got some nice shots of the sparrow. The birds were along the edge of the trees on the parking lot side of the large field where the path juts out around the trees and goes back. The sparrow was in with the usual American Tree/White-throated/Song Sparrow flock that hangs around that area. The warbler popped up on top of a tall shrub soon after I pointed out the sparrow to some other birders. Also had a beautiful male Northern Harrier flying around the field and through the forest.
