This Pipit is extremely common, and is found feeding on 

 all the roads in and around the town. Its coloration then 

 renders it almost invisible, and the bird seems to be conscious 

 of this means of protection, for it does not attempt to fly 

 away until one is within a few feet of it, and even then it 

 generally runs off in a crouching manner and takes refuge 

 in the grass at the sides of the road.
