Central Iowa super sparrow day

[Doug & Nina Harr]

I went to Greene, Guthrie & Dallas counties today, hoping to find either or both Nelson's and LeConte's Sparrows at some prairie wetlands.  Did not find either of those, but with lots of sparrows at marshes, along roadsides, and more found while I hiked through some CCB woodlands, I ended up with these 9 types of sparrows for the day--my best sparrow day of the entire year to date:

Swamp--3

Vesper--2

Savanna--26+ (in Greene Co.)

Clay-colored-1

Harris'-2 (FOS)

White-throated-9

Song-1

Fox-1 (FOS)

Lincoln's--6 (FOS)

My sparrow spelling corrected:  should have been Savannah, not Savanna
