I passed through Frohring late this afternoon, just in time to get caught by another shower. I barely saw a bird before the rain came, but afterwards, a number of sparrows popped out of the weeds to face the sun and dry out. A scope would have been fun, since they were all stretched out along the little berm, but a little far for binoculars. Lots of white crowned sparrows, a handful of song sparrows, and a few savannah sparrows. I think there was a vesper, but a bit far to confidently add to my ebird reports. Also flushed one W. Snipe and disturbed three meadowlarks as I was trying to get closer to the sparrows.
