Bobby Hughes and I went to the Pennyfield lock area looking for the
Olive-sided Flycatcher, and to the Lilypons area looking for the Upland
SP's and Dickcissel; we got nada.  I even used a recording of the
Flycatcher as we walked the canal.  We did see a group of about 20 Horned
Larks in the field on the north side of Oland Rd about 100 yards from the
intersection with Route 85.

When I got home there was a telelphone message from Jim Green; he was in
the Lilypons area Thursday night and saw 6 USPs on Greenfield Rd (this is
just south of Oland off Rt 85)!

Here's hoping that my trip to the DE Bay area tomorrow will be more
successful.
