There were 2 SHARP-TAILED SPARROWS at Arcola Creek Estuary in extreme northeast Lake County today. There were lots of sparrows in the marsh including swamp, song, white-throated and white-crowned. I also had a sora and common snipe in the marsh. Water levels are up and there were a few areas where knee-high boots were not enough. The LE CONTES SPARROW was on private property in Leroy Township in southern Lake County. The NORTHERN SHRIKE was southeast of the intersection of Bates Road and Route 307 in Madison Township, Lake County.
