This morning spurred on by Matt Haffner's CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, I visited Sunset Park and the surrounding blocks hoping for a view. I refound the sparrow right where he found it and was happy to see that there was a second Clay-colored with it. I also saw an Empid that I couldn't get on enough to id, so maybe Matt's Least Fly is still downtown. There was a SEASIDE SPARROW down there as well stuck in the alcove of a building. It took a while, but it eventually figured its way out. Other interesting migrants were: Pine SiskinBlue-headed VireoWilson's WarblerYellow warblerWhite-crowned Sparrow I also spoke to someone from Rec and Parks of OC and they are working on the problem with bums and drunks down there. They know it is a problem and supposedly the police are going to work on cleaning it up. Scott HoustenOC, Md.
