Observation details
Seen about 2 hours apart at different locations deep in sheltered coves within the main grassy island. Both times I was pishing and many marsh sparrows and wrens converged on my brother and I. Both times I noticed a unique sparrow start creeping up through the grasses which had an orange cheek crown similar to a Nelson's Sparrow, more defined and darker streaking on the breast, slightly shorter tailed than Nelson's, minimal orange on the breast, and longer thinner bill than Nelson's. I had great looks at Saltmarsh and Nelson's side by side for quite a while, and I was able to get some pics with my phone although not perfect!
