The Clay-colored Sparrow (CCSP) at Duke Farms in Hillsborough Township was seen this afternoon at the corner of the garden. This is located to the right (west) of the Orientation Center on Duke Parkway West. Jeff Ellerbusch found the CCSP this morning. He saw it again early in the afternoon. The bird then hid for a few hours before reappearing in close view on a fence railing at 4:20. There are bushels of Savannah Sparrows and Palm Warblers present as well as a Lincoln’s Sparrow.
