All, Two Le Conte's together along a mixed margin of short weels, ankle length sedge type grasses and along one of the mowed areas. Typically avoids high stuff and when one flies usually seeks a low point (where it may work inconspicuously higher). Often dips in near base of low shrubs. By scanning the base of a shrub it can often be found sitting near base, an inch or two off ground. There may be several here (it would take teams of people to work it thoroughly) and they could be anywhere. Nelson's prefer the tall cattails/grasses (it was in the cattails along the path toward Teal). When the WP trail divids (left to Teal, right to Harrier), we went NE through tall reeds and shrubs into areas where the grass is varied, short, with multiple margins.
