In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I realize that I wasn't too specific as to location. The area I find them in is an area of short marsh grass on the left side of the road (heading south). I believe it is just south of the bridge at 13.6 miles (see page 180). Perhaps someone else can be more precise.

Gail, I have been successful on Elliott Island Road south of Vienna, Maryland. If you have Claudia Wild's 'Finding Birds in the National Capital Area', she describes the area at the bottom of page 179 (Revised edition). If you don't have a copy, I can write down her directions and send them to you. I have seen them in the late afternoon, as she describes. Good luck. -Joe -----Original Message----- From: Maryland Birds & Birding [mailto:MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM]On Behalf Of Gail Mackiernan Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 2:26 PM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: [MDOSPREY] Site for Saltmarsh Sharptailed Sparrow? Hi all -- A friend of mine is coming to this area from California next week, and one of his targets is the Saltmarsh Sharptail. Now, I know they can be seen along Pt. Mahon Rd in Delaware, and other sites along the Delaware Bay, but has anyone seen them recently anywhere on Eastern shore that can give me a *specific* location -- including approximate distance from a good landmark? I confess I have not seen this species this summer, and am at a bit of a loss to advise my friend.
