After taking another look at the map posted by Trey Mitchell on the TAS Birdboard on 11/24 I believe that the Sharp-tailed Sparrows were much closer to the trailhead than the sparrow location marked on his map. The area where I saw the sparrows on 12/1 was just north of the beginning of the word coastal on his map.
If you go out on the trail and take the right fork a large open area will open up to the north and west, these are the Sparrow Fields where the Sharp-tailed Sparrows were seen for years prior to Hurricane Wilma. The trail follows the southern edge of this open area which bordered on the north by a tree line which closes in to within a couple of hundred yards of the trail about a mile out. The sparrows were seen in this narrow area about a hundred yards east of a narrow north-south line of dead Buttonwood trees which cut across the trail.
