The song birds were not as cooperative as they might have been on my brief visit to Seattle, but I did encounter a few of the large west coast Song Sparrows. They are indeed a bit bigger overall but what I noted most was how chunky the were. The ones I saw closest were, unfortunately, deep in brush. They were singing loudly but they seemed to feel no need for an exposed perch for their song. That’s different too. I was impressed by the new cameras ability to focus in the deep brush.
