Hi All, While working South Heron Lake in Jackson Co. this morning, I just flushed a SPRAGUE'S PIPIT. It vocalized while it did its trademark stair step climb before plummeting back to the ground.
I also had 300+ Sparrows, including over a dozen Le Conte's and a couple Nelson's, but most were Swamp (50%), Savannah and Song. White-throats, White-crowned, and Harris's all represented. Several Sedge Wrens and a lingering Common Yellowthroat were also around. The lake was pretty quiet. From the intersection of 850th St. / 415th Ave., travel north on a two lane road. A sign here labels this area as Stern / Kalash Point, however there is an eBird hotspot also right in this area as Heron Lake WMA - West Heron Unit. The sparrows and Pipit were along this north / south access road.
