LeConte's Sparrow
June
28th
We had a somewhat leisurely breakfast at
the Pine Bungalows dining room. After
checking out, we made one quick stop at Cottonwood Slough but there were so
many mosquitos that we left in a hurry.
Today was basically a travel day and we had about a four-hour drive to
get to Edmonton.
We bought sandwiches before leaving
Jasper and stopped along the way for lunch.
There was a spot about an hour outside of Edmonton where Connecticut
Warblers had been reported. We spent a
lot of time driving down a dusty gravel road hoping to hear a Connecticut
singing. Once again, no luck but we did
hear an Ovenbird and saw a Savannah Sparrow.
The highlight of day was a distant view of a LeConte’s Sparrow which was
a new bird for the year. The forecast
looks pretty dismal for tomorrow (lots of rain) but we shall see. (1 FOY
species, total for Alberta 33)
