Today Marie and I were tooling around one of my favorite haunts – Eastport Wastelands – and decided to take a turn yet traveled there. The place is HUGE, so we haven’t covered most of it yet. No sooner did I get out the truck when this stunning Lark Sparrow flushed up and perched right out in the open.

It’s the first record since 27 September 2008 in Duval County, and the first spring report I know about. What a spectacular way to end the day!
