I had good looks at a Le Conte's Sparrow just southwest of the Visitor Center, Neal Smith NWR, Prairie City, Sunday morning. A handsome bird. Also a sedge wren was "vocalizing" quite a bit by the trail just southeast of the Visitor Center. At home, we still have hummingbirds at our feeder, two weeks later than normal.
p.s. is the "e" in Conte pronounced or silent? Carl Nollen, s.e.
