I spent the morning looking for these two species around the old Airfield in Algonquin Provincial Park. I found 1 or 2 Le Conte's Sparrows near the east end of the airfield and 1 Nelson's Sparrow in the marsh where the north river flows into Lake of Two Rivers.
There were good numbers of several other sparrow species around the airfield as well. Directions: A park permit is required (available at the east or west gates, visitor center, and campground offices) for use of park facilities (including entering the airfield). Exit Hwy 60 at KM 31, into Mew Lake Campground. Go past the campground office and the wood yard. Park at the first parking lot on your left after the wood yard. There are several trails around the airfiled, head east towards Lake of Two Rivers. Mike Burrell Bancroft [email protected] _________________________________________________________________ New!
