Subject: [ia-bird] Swamp Sparrows
I walked around Springbrook State Park (Guthrie County) lake late morning.
At far north end there was one vocal but secretive Swamp Sparrow and
another quiet but photogenic one. Photo attached. I'm pretty sure the ID is
correct. Also a Belted Kingfisher who was chattering away. A couple of
hawks, Canada Geese at north end that flew off as I approached on the
trail. Beautiful day to be outdoors! On a sad note, several dead Canada
Geese at Bay's Branch. 😟
