Jim G.,
I see you reported to eBird yesterday seeing a Clay-colored Sparrow in
Washington, Co. at Indian Springs WMA--and that it has been confirmed
by an eBird reviewer. I assume this was a mistake, and that it
actually should have been a report of one in Indian Creek NRMA in
Charles Co. Looks like the reviewer missed the mistake as well.
Thought I should post this to the list since others may be confused,
especially since it's been mistakenly confirmed by eBird.
Also, for future reference, it would be helpful if these sightings
were reported to this list with somewhat greater alacrity. A 9am
sighting that is only reported after dark that same day doubtless
makes it tough on some would-be twitchers, or others who may already
be birding in the area.
Regards,
Jim Moore
Rockville, MD
