Unfortunately, these 2 species were found mostly on either private land,
or public land with limited access (PWRC; Beltsville Ag Res Ctr). But
one good spot for FOSP is the Marietta Mansion in Glenn Dale, in the
brushy area sloping away from the house. Another spot for sparrows can
be the PWRC N Tract, in fields along the Wildlife Loop. Visitors are
discouraged from straying too far from the road. But this is in AA Co
and so may not be what you want. (The classic AMTS-WCSP spot on the
Bowie CBC is also in AA Co, in a quarry that used to allow access to
birders but is now under new management and denied us this year).
