A Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow was in the reeds on the southeast side of the Purgatory Creek wetlands(as the creek exits the wetlands towards Staring Lake). I visually id'd him by his gray median crown stripe. When I observed him he only made a few chips at me, but when I walked near the area on my way to the blind, I heard a song I had never heard before. I didn't think much of it at the time, until I saw him about 30 minutes later on my way back from the blind. I got home and listened to the song and it was the song of the Nelson's Sharp-tailed that I had heard. Of course, the one time I don't bring my camara with me, I see this. He was quite good with posing and he seemed rather curious. Besides him, there was not much unusual from the blind. A few Common Loons were in the water. On the opposite side of the wetlands from the blind, there was a Common Tern.
