Cayuga-birders, Up to 5 Nelson's Sparrows have been observed on four different outings by various observers since 1 October at Martens Tract near Savannah, NY. Most recently there were 4 birds seen this morning (8 October). Sightings have been pretty consistent along the water-filled ditch that runs east-west south of the gated road at the Martens Tract parking area. Other birds seen recently there include Trumpeter Swans, American Bittern, Virginia Rail, and numerous Marsh Wrens and Swamp Sparrows. Maps, etc can be found on eBird. Boots are recommended for traipsing around in the wet fields. Cheers, Tom
