After fighting a nasty cold ever since I got back from Jaegerfest, I finally
got down to Lake Barney/Swan Pond south of Madison late this afternoon. The
large patch of smartweed a half-mile or so south of the entrance was full of
sparrows, but everything I was kicking up was a Swamp, Song, or Savannah.
Finally, near the southeast end, I spotted a Nelson's Sparrow, which was fairly
cooperative and gave me some nice, close looks. I also flushed three Soras,
and three Wilson's Snipe flew around overhead a couple of times.
