The olive sparrows prefer to stay low and in dense brush. The olive sparrows I photographed at the Martin Refuge in Edinburg, Texas like this one, would come in quickly to the blind area to take some seed and sometimes water. Then as quickly as it came, it would fly away back into the brush. June 2008.
