Even before dawn the Cassin's Sparrow was performing his beautiful aerial
display flights accompanied by his singing on Kaser Road in Shelby County
this morning. Many times the flight took him across the road, north to south
and back again.  Sometimes he even landed on the side of the road, giving us
good views.  He also used the post with the orange cap extensively, singing
from it when he wasn't flying.  It seemed central to his territory.  

Thanks, Doug, for finding this bird and giving us this first experience of a
territorial Cassin's Sparrow!
