All,

One Le Conte's Sparrow and one Nelson's Sparrow in the past few days at
Snipe Marsh in Delaware. Ben Warner and I got good looks at the Nelson's
today. Here are directions from Ben from a previous post:

From Delaware we drove the five minutes or so it takes to get out to the
Meijer on RT. 36/37 east of Delaware. This is the area previously described
by Sean Williams as "Snipe Marsh". Take the road that is beside the strip of
stores and the Delaware Marine boat place on the corner and drive in behind
the Kohls and Meijer. There is gravel parking lot on the right in front of a
hill and some trails visible from the road. Park there and walk over the
hill on the gravel path. Then leave the path and go down the hill towards
the wetland complex before you. There is a central dyke that separates the
open pods on the left from the marshy cattail and other wetland plant filled
area on the right. This is sparrow heaven, there is a good mix of sparrow
food plants in there amongst the Cattails. Walk the Dyke and listen for the
chip notes and flight calls of sparrows. The best area is towards the north
end of this marsh where there are some more grasses and shallow areas.
Try to be respectful of the birds and habitat if you go for this bird!

That is all.

Sean
