Yesterday on a hike of Memphis TOS led by Martha Waldron, 3 Le Conte's
Sparrows were seen on the trail due north of Chickasaw Lake in Shelby
Farms. Today Susan and I went to the same location and observed 11, many
within 6-20 feet. They are in a field consisting  primarily of Foxtail
Grass, Redtop, and Johnson Grass. They are in the Johnson Grass and feeding
on the seeds.
If you follow the trail from the west end of the lake you should follow it
until it does an S curve and turns back north for about 200 yards. This is
the primary location of the birds.
