We visited Oakes Quarry park Sunday morning and found about 5 Lark Sparrows.
We also found a nest in a small isolated shrub. The nest was near the ground
and the bush was only a couple feet tall. It contained four eggs. One of the
birds, probably the female, flushed from the nest acting injured to draw us
away. We were right next to the nest and I just looked down and saw it. We
quickly moved on and then found a male singing nearby. The park is on Route
235 just east of I675.
