I took a trip this morning to walk the trails of Osceola Island. I was 
surprised to see an American Tree Sparrow in a group of Song Sparrows, 
White-throated Sparrows and Swamp Sparrows. It was in the area I call the 
swamp, where the stand of dead trees and snags are located. This area is only 
about a half mile from the location where Mike Sanders and I saw and 
photographed one back in February. It was a really good day of birding. Will 
probably try to go back and relocate it tomorrow.
