Seen twice well. I know these birds and have spent time watching them on their breeding grounds near Chicago more than once. There are a few weedy fields between the parking area near the jetty and the actual jetty. Bird first seen on the wood chip path that parallels the water in between the 2 teees by the harbor. There is a falling over tree near the beach. Going towards jetty there is a smaller tree and then a larger tree that is 50 feet away. Then seen again in the thinner grass near the fence and the rock pile. Right near the national rent a fence sign and a huge white rock behind it.
Earlier this morning there was a grasshopper sparrow here. Not seen on afternoonn visit. But there is another ammodramus as well that I only got fleeting views of. Think it's a nelsons/salt marsh. Also present are lots of other sparrows and a Meadowlark.
