Swamp Sparrows

[Karen Fieg]

I walked around Springbrook State Park (Guthrie County) lake late morning. At far north end there was one vocal but secretive Swamp Sparrow and another quiet but photogenic one. Photo attached. I'm pretty sure the ID is correct. Also a Belted Kingfisher who was chattering away. A couple of hawks, Canada Geese at north end that flew off as I approached on the trail. Beautiful day to be outdoors!  On a sad note, several dead Canada Geese at Bay's Branch. 😟
