Searching in suitable habitat, I was amazed that I actually found 1 NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED SPARROW. It was located in the reedy area at the base of the spit of land that separates the second pond from the third on the KFN property at the east end of the island. The base of the spit is on the west side of the pond. This is the same spit of land that the AMERICAN AVOCET has been seen on and was there at the same time I was observing the sparrow. The sparrow never flew but rather ran through the reeds like a mouse.
