Birders, I had an AWESOME weekend around the suburbs in the town of Delaware. This morning I found 4 singing GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS NE of the intersection of CR-91 and Township HWY-89. I also had 3 more birds flying around the field, so possibly 7 individuals were present. I flushed one very small, streaky sparrow. I only had fleeting glimpses, but cannot see what else it could have been other than a Henslow's Sparrow. The only possibility would have been a Song, Savannah, or Vesper Sparrow with the tail cut off. Who knows? but I'm keeping my ears/eyes out. Then, around some of the corn fields, I had 7 species of shorebird: Killdeer- lots Spotted Sandpiper- 4 Solitary Sandpiper- 16 Greater Yellowlegs- 6 Lesser Yellowlegs- 12 Pectoral Sandpiper- 1 Wilson's Snipe- 12 Good birding!
