Synopsis:
My primary emphasis on this shoot was Le Conte's Sparrow, which are a specialty in mid to late October in marshy habitat of eastern Kansas, especially below the Clinton Lake dam just south of Lawrence. I was able to finally photograph a Le Conte's, although in fairly poor light. I also photographed other sparrow species including Swamp Sparrow. I briefly walked around parts of Baker Wetlands for the first time, and I am highly impressed. This is a great area of marshy wetlands and riparian habitat for all sorts of bird species. |
