Hello All, The bird I couldn't identify was in the grasslands/shrublands east of the dunes and before the pinyon forest. It was close to Castle creek and the Escaped Dunes, but still in the grass/shrub. To me it looked like a finch because of it's bill. It had some thick streaking on it's back, possibly a pattern on it's cheek. It was mostly brown, but every so often I would get the sense of a deep green. It would perch close to the top of the shrub, sing out for several minutes and then dive down to the lower areas out of sight [foraging I presume]. It would repeat this again for at least another hour. Its' song to me sounded like: Meeeeee, Fee, Fee, Fee, Fee, Fee, Fee, Fee. The Mee... was slowly ascending, the Fees were a lower note and slightly descending. I've clicked on most of the finch and sparrow voice buttons at the Cornell bird ID site without any luck. Any Cobirders advise? Thanks, Glenn Rodriguez Denver
