I had planned to chase the LeConte's today, but the horrid traffic situation on I-95 and Rt. 1 scared me off (coming from Maryland). An earlier post asked for more specific directions to the area the bird is being seen. I too would appreciate more specifics. The Refuge website says to take Dawson Beach Rd. to its end. I can get this much from Mapquest. But what then?

I would appreciate any hints on or off list as I am going to try to get get to the Refuge tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

All,

This morning Gerry Hawkins, Bill Wallen, and I had unobstructed views of the LeConte's sparrow at the Occoquan NWR. The bird continues to be seen just off Bay View Road at the refuge. I can add a few digiscopes to the already fine pictures Paula Sullivan has taken of this bird. The LeConte's was a life bird for Gerry.

Digiscopes taken this morning are available at a temporary web gallery at homepage.mac.com/pmkane/PhotoAlbum5.html. At the moment, I have put up two digiscopes of the LeConte's. I may add additional digiscopes to this gallery later today, though this gallery is not intended to be permanent and may be removed from its server at any time.
