This sounds like normal behavior to me. I've had a pair in my yard all summer. They like to feed under the base of my feeders and along the paths. They often sit in the evenings on the edge of my bird bath and planter walls just watching the world go by. They don't flush unless I get fairly close.

They are always on the ground when I see them and by the time I see them I am often only four feet or so from them. They don't seem very active. I am not in the yard much. I do not know how much time they are actually in my yard. But I have seen them daily and twice today. Is it possible they are sick? Picture taken through a window with a poor cell phone camera.
