Got out this morning to do a little scouting--9 species of sparrows including LeConte's, some late Field Sparrows, and my first American Tree Sparrows of the season. We saw at least 5 LeConte's before we stopped looking, and they gave us incredible looks, making quite an impression on the interns and other staff who had never seen one before. ******************************************** Karen Viste-Sparkman Refuge Biologist Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge P.O.
