I was saddened to see that the area immediately to your right as you enter the park has been breached by equipment. This was, in my opinion, the choicest parcel. On my last visit (July 22), it held good numbers of Grasshopper Sparrows as well as a handful of Dickcissel. This evening, I neither saw nor heard either species in this parcel. The result of the activity is that there are now two rather sizable incursions where the grassland has been destroyed in preparation for development.
