My dad and I went out to try and find a Lark Sparrow. We didnt find it. There were some other birders there and they didnt see it either. So we took a cool picture of me! Then we went to see if we could find the Common Gallinule and some Nelson's Sparrows. I already have Nelson's sparrows when we were in Maine. It took so many minutes but then the Common Gallinule swam out in the open. it was a lifer for me. we then went to a different spot and walked into the marsh and we saw lots of Nelson's Sparrows! Then we went to lunch and went home. Tomorrow night we are going to do a Northern Saw-whet Owl banding trip!!!! Last year i did it and i got to touch one! it was so cool!!
