A Seaside Sparrow sings his heart out proclaiming his territory to the other males in the area and seeking a female companion. There is at least one other male competing in the area but I haven’t seen a female yet. Photographing this bird has been a challenge because although it favors a specific cluster of reeds and lands in the same place over and over so I know where to look for him, he seems to perch where the surrounding reeds partially obscure him. After watching him yesterday morning and shooting only when the reeds blew temporarily aside, he did an about face, hopped down, and suddenly he was in plain sight. After capturing a few shots as he sang, a vehicle passed by and flushed him from his perch. We left shortly after. I’ll look for him tomorrow.
