I saw a Sora around 9 a.m. at Hughes Hollow, in roughly the same location  
where sighted later.  I just happened to look down while stopping at  random to 
look around and there it was just below me at the water's edge  (on the left 
side as you walk out the dike).  The bird is in "fresh paint"  breeding plumage 
- with the yellow bill particularly prominent.  I took  some pictures, but by 
then the Sora had moved into nearby vegetation so the view  was obscured.  
Glad that others have seen it too.  I tried to spread  the word right away to 
the people I saw on the dike.
