I may be speaking for others when I say that if the "Howard
County Folks" are able to work something out, I would be
thrilled. Please keep us posted on any such effort, be it a
group visit or whatever. I am very interested - this bird would
be a lifer for me. I've missed it many times (the last time I
remember chasing it was a Delaware bird - Lewes? - many
moons ago...).
By the way, this past weekend I saw more Juncos in my
neighborhood than I can ever remember seeing in Oct. during
our 12 years in Silver Spring. They were everywhere!

Silver Spring, who, by the way, continues to have better luck
with butterflies this fall: Ocola Skipper on October 17-18 in my
yard (very nice looks!), a possible Eufala Skipper on October 17
in the same place (corresponding with Dick Smith to get a
second opinion on the small, dark, cryptic skipper I saw), and
a real nice Sleepy Orange this past Saturday, again, in the
yard!
