While doing a Backyard Birdcount this morning Hap and I were fortunate to get good looks at the secretive little Le Conte's Sparrow in a field of Savannahs, Songs, and Swamps. This is a part of a farm we own that we have turned over for conservation to Fish and Wildlife. Last year there was nothing but corn stubble and certainly no sparrows. I am so pleased.
