This morning we (4 Howard countians and a couple Baltimorians) found a
SHARP-TAILED SPARROW at the University of MD farm. The bird was seen
from 5-6 feet the first time with great views. Found again about 20
minutes later and observed for another couple minutes.
Tomorrow morning I will take all interested birders to look for the
little fellow. I will leave the farm parking lot at 7:30 a.m. SHARP. Br
prepared to walk in water up to (almost) your knees and brush up to your
chest.
Please remember the farm is private property and limited access. There
is active hunting with up to 5 regular hunters there !
There were 8 other sparrow species there and an American Bittern.
