After spending over 2 hours at Cove Island Park enjoying the Fork-tailed Flycatcher (photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jgluth_brb/) I birded nearby Marshlands Conservancy in Rye for nearly 3 hours. I failed to find hoped for Nelson's Sparrows in the marshes, but there was an immature OSPREY hunting over the bay close to shore. In the thickets bordering the east side of the large field, were a HOUSE WREN and a BLUE-HEADED VIREO. A few Tree Sparrows were also present.
