[wisb] Good photos of singing Savannah Sparrows in Lakeshore State Park

The Milwaukee lakefront was pretty dull yesterday. Only three waterfowl 
species: Canada Goose, Mallard, and a single American Coot. Kept trying to 
track an oriole for a photo but, based on the sound, it was moving away from 
me. Also, it looks like there are maybe a half dozen Red-winged Blackbird pairs 
nesting in the grass at the Lakeshore State Park (LSP) prairie. Don't remember 
this last spring?

There was a nice highlight, though. It appears that there are two male Savannah 
Sparrows on territory in Milwaukee's Lakeshore State Park (LSP). One is at the 
north end of the park. The other is at the south end. This spring I had a goal 
of taking a decent photo of a Savannah Sparrow in full song with my small 
pocket camera. Yesterday (5/22/12) I had the good fortune of taking decent 
photos of not one, but two birds in song:
