I got some very good photographs of the Red Clay Road bird (which now languish in the archives of the MD/DC Records Committee awaiting further long-delayed action...grin).  Shortly after we visited this bird and his/her rapidly growing nest, it caught fire and burned out the telephone/transformer pole in which it was built.  The fire department tore out the pole and nest in the process of putting the fire out and the bird disappeared from this location.  If you need a date, let me know and I can check my records.
