A small bird in dry weeds may flash yellow, red, brown, white, or nothing obvious at all. It may hang from a seed head, drop into grass, rise in a loose flock, call from overhead, and vanish before the binoculars settle. If you chase color first, the whole group becomes frustrating. If you start with food, bill, flock, and flight, the field opens.</p>
