Hey,

I had a Nelson's Sparrow this morning at Forest Lagoons. The bird was in the smart-weed / beggars tick along the east side of the berm that divides the two low lagoons - look for the life-saving station....in a sewage lagoon...I know, right?

The two low lagoons were decent - among good numbers of Yellowlegs / Pects and peeps was a Stilt Sandpiper and 3 Dunlin. The full lagoon had a immature Snow Goose and 3 Tundra Swan.

From CR 7, take Hubbard Line east to Brush Road, then south about 1km to the lagoon entrance - Google Maps shows it as 7550 Brush Road.
