This morning a NELSON'S SPARROW was present along Peck Rd in SW Sauk
County, a few miles NW of Spring Green. This is an area of fields
between Cty JJ and Mercer Road which have been flooded for the past
couple years and has turned into a weedy marsh. The Nelson's Sparrow
was on the east side of Peck Rd in a weedy area to the north of the
cattail reeds and south of the old cut off corn stalks. It perched in
the open for about a minute and sang a few times, giving some pretty
good views on a foggy morning.
Also present were a couple SORAS, a MARSH WREN, and a lots of sparrows
of which I tallied the following:
Nelson's Sparrow - 1
Swamp Sparrow - 19
Song Sparrow - 26
Savannah Sparrow - 11
White-thr. Sparrow - 5
White-cr. Sparrow - 1
Chipping Sparrow - 2
Lapland Longspur - 1
