I'm not surprised that Sharp-tailed Sparrows are so hard to
detect.  The ones I saw at Palo Alto Baylands were always
CRAWLING THROUGH the pickleweed, never on top of it.

I heard another cute story about invisible birds.  Seems
someplace in Colorado some folks set out rodent traps and
started catching all kinds of Sedge Wrens in a place where
they had never been seen---and they still haven't!
