Mostly seen at Pea Island Refuge and area in the winter, as we have spring warmth Nelson’s Sparrows (Ammospiza nelsoni) will head north to their breeding grounds. When they are here in the area they are difficult to find because they spend a great deal of time in heavy marsh grass close to the ground.
