I've seen a bird twice, once in the swale area by the Chapel Trail post office (Pines Blvd and us 27, right by the eagles nest), and once in the FPL right of way that runs parallel to us 27, behind the holly lake trailer park (these 2 locations are about a 1/2 mile apart as the crow flies). I have a very poor foto of it, here. It just did not quite fit any of the birds that I thought it reasonably could be. It had 2 definite wing bars, obvious even from a distance. This bird looked exactly like the pictures I've now seen of la sagra's.It has the flat head and, from a distance, faint yellow color below. As to habit, both times I saw it, it was close to the ground. But the second time, when spooked, it flew toward the crown of some nearby trees (the first time, no trees nearby). The first time it had what seemed to be some sort of long, thin thing in its beak, but it was too far away to tell what it was.
