With a couple Grasshopper Sparrows at Baskett Slough NWR on Saturday, I
thought I would try a couple other places Sunday am.

Finley NWR – 3 males singing in the recent regular location. This is
about a 400-500 meters walk SE of the Prairie Overlook.  At one point
all three males were countersinging and all were visible.

Sher Kahn Road, east of Creswell – 2 males countersinging.  Take Camas
Swale Road E of town and then Sher Kahn road to the N.  Go about a
kilometer and they were in the big field on the W side of the road, just
N of the lone large tree in the middle of the field.  Also had a Kite
working the field plus, Vesper Sparrow, Meadowlark, and Kingbirds to
round out a nice prairie assemblage.
