Rare Sparrow at Crestwood (Better Pic)
Fred Weber found a rare Nelson's Sparrow (thought to be the interior subspecies) at Crestwood Lake. Very hard to see along the phrag edges, and even harder to photograph. I would not have known what I was looking at without Fred. (A needle in a haystack. See pix below).)
Doug Morel later found the bird again.
More on Nelson's Sparrows here.

Great find. Saw one at Crestwood years ago. There is also one record for the CF along with one Sharp-tailed record. I saw both at Greenway.
