   Continuing pair - Breeding successful breeding confirmed. On Aug. 29, 2017 at ~10am, I saw 1 chick (still in down so presumably < 1 month old per BNA) and 1 adult on the marsh off Eldridge Road (out of public access). I heard an additional adult and juvenile calls for about 15 minutes. At least 2 AHY and 1 HY present, likely more chicks but not seen. One adult was incidentally captured while mist-netting saltmarsh sparrows. It was released unbanded and appeared to be in good health. I did not think to take measurements since we couldn't band it so it's unknown whether it was the male or the female
