Bonnie, So THAT'S where all the sparrows were hiding!! I led a (small) walk for The Backyard Naturalist (in Olney) over to Schooley Mill Park on Saturday, hoping for Lincoln's Sparrow (had one at Layhill Park on Friday AM). We found only a paltry few Field Sparrows, and about the same number of Chippies. Hardly anything was in the park with feathers, other than many robins and catbirds. We ended up going back to Layhill, but didn't have much luck there either, since it was getting late and the place was swarming with soccer players... Nice trip report!
