[MDOsprey] Chat, but no Lark Sparrow

Hi all --

Barry and I went over to Annapolis to try for the Lark Sparrow Marshall Iliff
found yesterday. We met Marshall there, and proceeded to comb all the fields.
As Marshall said, a terrific-looking area. Unfortunately, we never found the
Lark Sparrow, and perhaps the sparrows were being more skulky in today's
breeze.

However, Barry found a Yellow-breasted Chat in a hedgerow, and Marsall found
a Gray Catbird virtually in the same spot -- so who knows what goodies lurk in
this little corner of AA County?

Marshall is hoping that the sparrow is still there (and so are we!)
