Silver Sands - 1 Clay-colored sparrow. Seen at around 1 pm. It is hanging out in the north east part of the sparrow lanes near the parking lot John Oshlick

Silver Sands State Park, Milford, CT, ~5:00 pm 7 October 2016: Besides re-finding the clay-colored sparrow that John discovered earlier in the day (but this time at the northwestern end of the sparrow lanes), I found a vesper sparrow in a bush by the northeast sector, and in the marsh I located a Nelson's sparrow. It is my impression that the numbers of savannah sparrows continues to grow, and the variety of plumages is fascinating. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31935259 Russ Smiley Marlborough, CT -----Original Message----- From: CTBirds [mailto:ctbirds-bounces@lists.ctbirding.org] On Behalf Of John Oshlick via CTBirds Sent: Friday, October 07, 2016 2:17 PM To: ctbirds Subject: [CT Birds] Silver Sands Clay-colored Silver Sands - 1 Clay-colored sparrow.
