Belding's Savannah Sparrow(Passerculus sandwichensis beldingi) UNBER Newport Beach, CA
Nesting season in the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve means a survey is required before doing any work. Found this nest in the grass under a pickleweed bush and had to relocate our planned work. Since work is restoring habitat for the Belding's Savanna Sparrow, we were happy to do so.
That poor bird is really named after a sandwich?
Don't feel too bad, they have beach front property in Newport.
