My wife, Kim Kastler, and I walked the "Route 2 Loop" this morning at the Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary in Worcester. (The "Route 2 Loop" consists of the Troiano Brookside Trail and the Cardinal Trail, including a side trip to the Green Heron Pond.) Lots of sparrows in the marsh, but many went unidentified as they were diving in and out of the vegetation, so they were difficult to pin down.
