Lydia Schindler and I spent some hours today on a route in Montgomery
County, MD that included River Road, Partnership Road, Sugarland Road,
Hughes Road, Sycamore Landing Road, River Road, Mt. Nebo Road, West Offutt
Road and Willard Road.  We had 8 sparrow species: Eastern Towhee, American
Tree, Field, Savannah, Song, White-crowned and White-throated Sparrow and
Dark-eyed Junco.  We had killer looks at the American Tree Sparrows on West
Offutt Road.  Other highlights included a small flock of Horned Larks at the
polo grounds on Hughes Road; three Eastern Bluebirds a Golden-crowned
Kinglet and a Brown Creeper on River Road; a Hermit Thrush on Sycamore
Landing Road and a flock of about 25 Cedar Waxwings on Willard Road.
A lovely day!
