 On the facebook page, there has been a lot of sparrow sightings of LeConte's 
and Nelson's. People are really hitting the fields, which is great. One thing 
that I'm noticing is that all the sights have a common feature. No trees! The 
ones I've visited are quite open. Moist or wet areas nearby seems to be a plus, 
but not a necessity. We have 4 spots in our area that have had one or both of 
these sparrows. There are probably a few more that haven't been checked.
 There was a article about nesting field birds that mentioned how they did 
better with out treelines etc.
 Food for thought, Steve Thiessen Stoughton Dane co.
