�Jason said�.....(I wish Bonnie could come down here one day and work her Sparrow Magic to help find some real goodies)
We have been crazy with sparrows here in Howard....I did another big sparrow search last Thursday and again hit 10 species with hundreds of birds. Picked up Vesper in a couple places but no Nelsons. Still had two lingering Grasshoppers (late!) . White-Crowns have really moved in and Lincoln�s were still hanging on with 5.
This week should still be strong but then they should start to taper a bit. The wintering species should climb in numbers. There is still a great potential for rare sparrows even into November. (Look for Harris!)

Hi Everyone,
I had an unexpected hatch year female Wilson's Warbler in scrub at Poplar Point (Anacostia Park) in Washington DC this afternoon. It was joined by a imm. female Common Yellowthroat and a male House Finch - all low in a brilliantly red sumac bush. Lots of sparrows around in the weedy fields at Poplar Point - probably some great rarities hiding and inaccessible (at least today). In addition to large numbers of Song Sparrows, I had some Swamp, Field and White-throatded and White-crowned Sparrows.
I wish Bonnie could come down here one day and work her Sparrow Magic to help find some real goodies!
