Well...
The Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow is an endanger sparrow that is found in ENP. It is an uncooperative and sneaky bird with the ability to become invisible while singing its song which sounds much like a Red-wing Blackbird with a sore throat. The sparrow seemed to like the fact that there were many Red-winged Blackbirds in the area to help distract me. There were several grasshoppers in the area near the road hiding from the stealthy hunting sparrows. I have yet to photograph a Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow and am offering a reward for anyone who can tell me how to capture an image of this invisible bird.
The grasshoppers were very large, but the Meadowlarks were very confusing unless perched close by. They were abundant in the area soaring over the glades. I was luck to find one perched in a tree and caught it with my camera just as it took off. Life is good....
LOL
This joke is old now and I will no longer bring it up again. I guess I owe someone a good brew for the use of an embarrassing situation...
I hope I answered you questions.
LOL
