Went to get a feel for the sparrow habitat at WRP for Sunday's upcoming
trip. I was very happy with the conditions there...looks better than it has
in years. Was so glad I did and spent a few hours in the lower entrance
"pond" that was full of Savannahs and Songs...a surprise of 5 Grasshoppers
in various age stages was wonderful. The Grasshoppers made for number 6 on
the sparrow count today!
A Long-tailed Skipper was an awesome surprise!
