Hi all,
Later that afternoon at SWAP, nearly all sparrows
were on other side of water by crossing the wooded
bridge next to ramp. From there going up and walk to
the right and after passing three bends, see the
common cattails on dry bed on right blowned on
sideway. Most of the sparrows including the Vesper was
located in that spot. Not a single white-crowned
there.
