Nice! Nelson’s Sparrow can be real tricky. It was a pretty poor year for them where I am in costal California, there was only one in the county. Glad you got the chance to see them.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Definitely! It was a nice surprise to have them out in the open!

Great video. That habitat and behavior is almost identical to my first Nelson's that I got in Denver this fall.

Rizz master… 😢, Sora reminds me of a spotted crake. Only extremely occasionally get spotted crakes in the UK. Sometimes they’re only heard.
