From: "coskren@erols.com"@erols.com To: mdosprey@ARI.Net Subject: Stork and Sparrow Jane and I chased the wood stork and the lark sparrow today at Point Lookout. The stork was easy and obvious -- we saw it as we drove past the pond, without using binoculars (although we did it the courtesy of returning with a scope to admire it at leisure). The sparrow wasn't as easy, although it had been reported that morning only a few minutes before we arrived. After some searching in the heat and humidity, we gave up temporarily and adjourned to a fast-food joint for sustenance (especially something cold!). On our return, more searching turned it up within the fenced-off area at the south tip. We thank all those who have kept us updated with the status of the two birds, as we missed the stork in our brief visit to the Salton Sea in southern California (and of course missed the earlier MD storks).
