Seen at Buttertubs Marsh, Nanaimo, May 12 2021, in a bush (hawthorn?) about 12 feet above ground. I think this is a savannah sparrow based on the yellowish eyebrows, buff central head stripe and pink legs. The tail is not clearly notched, but his could be due to overlapping feathers. My main uncertainty is because everything I have read says that they always stay close to the ground.
