I had a great afternoon birding Grey Cloud Dunes SNA from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. I found Grasshopper, Clay-colored and Henslow's Sparrows in the traditional long grass areas on the top of the dunes. The western slope and bottom of the dunes that have just been burned had an incredible number of birds including Swamp, Lincoln, White-crowned, White-throated, Field, Vesper, Savannah, and Song Sparrows. Eastern Towhee, and Brown Thrasher were singing loudly and the afternoon was capped by a Peregrine Falcon cruising down the dune face.
