A singing Grasshopper Sparrow was found along Conservation Rd. yesterday. It
was perched at the top of a spruce tree on the side of the road.
Interestingly, it was in the middle of the day in a 30-degree plus
temperatures. Conservation Rd. is on the West side of the property. Check the
website www.hullettmarsh.org for a map of the area. The sparrow was seen just
past the parking lot at 40589 Conservation Rd. I got a great look at the bird
and luckily, just happened to have the parabolic microphone with me and got at
45 second recording of its song!
In other news, there is no sign as of yet of offspring for the Black Terns on
the Bluebill Pool. A pair can seen regularly at the SW corner of the
impoundment and at one point flew within about 15 feet of me showing definite
territorial behaviour. It’s only a matter of time before young will be
spotted I’m sure.
