I spent an hour on Saturday and a bit more than an hour on Sunday visiting meadow and edge habitats to look for sparrows.  I found a few, also some non-sparrows.

11-20, meadow at north entrance to Robert E. Lee Park, Balt. County.

red-shouldered hawk (1)
gray catbird (2)
towhee (1)
fox sparrow (3)
field sparrow (1, immature)

11-21, Mears Farm, Catonsville, Balt. County

black vulture (35)
turkey vulture (5 or 6)
towhee (3)
fox sparrow (1)

The ratio of black to turkey vultures was surprising!
