At about 3:10 pm I had a LeConte's Sparrow about 20 to30 feet beyond the wide platform area in on the east side of the boardwalk. This is in the vicinity of two bare dark trunks of small trees, one each on opposite sides of the boardwalk. I was returning from walking slowly to the end and was very softly spishing almost like a soft thin whistle. The bird sat up in the open for me to get my camera out of the bag and get off two shots that appear to be good on the camera. What a day!
