Vesper Sparrow still at same location as of 5 minutes ago. Surprising to me that a Vesper could stay happy in a spot like this, but I'm happy to have in the neighborhood.

Being that it's a weekday in October, the ball fields near 73rd Avenue and 224 St. are quiet, allowing some birds to hang around. 2 Eastern Bluebirds were also here. The Vesper twice perched on the batting cage closest to the above intersection.
