Seaside Sparrow

To threaten an intruder, males and females may raise and shiver the wings or spread the tail. Raising the wings makes the yellow feathers at the carpal joint (the “wrist”) especially prominent. Another threat display involves picking up a piece of grass or wrack and pointing it at the intruder.
