The LE CONTE'S SPARROW, previously reported at Abbot's Meadow WMA in
Salem County during February, was viewed again Mar 15. The location
in the DeLorme NJ Atlas is P. 60, M-14. While in cell L-14 take the
road to the south that goes along the west side of the easternmost
green block designating Abbott's Meadow WMA property. This is the
road that heads south from immediately west of the CR 637 labeling in
the DeLorme Atlas. Though not labeled, this is Abbott's Farm Rd.
Immediately before the road bends sharply to the west (and approaches
a private residence) there is a parking lot on the left (east side)
of the road. Park here and walk east out into a field fringed with
phragmites; loop around the north end of the phrags to get to the

corner of this field.
