My son (Jim the Younger) just sent me a phone pix of a Sora that he found in 
Washington, D.C.  Nothing extrordinary ... except ... he found it searching 
for food on E Street, casually walking among the parked cars and on the 
sidewalk.  He said that he followed along for a while to see if it was 
injured but he could see no signs of distress.  He added that if someone got 
too close while trying to get a better look, that the bird would run under a 
nearby parked car and then emerge on the other end.

You never know where you are going to find nature.
