Cape May, NJ ~ Harris's Sparrow ~ USA Life Bird #470

This Harris's Sparrow has been wintering in Cape may at my birder friends' house.  I jave been over there a number of times to see it but was never successful - called dipping - in birder language.  I went over again this morning as it is probably soon to fly away to it's nesting grounds.  I did get several looks at the sparrow though a cardinal kept chasing it away.
