Hi All,
Just a quick post to alert anyone interested of a singing Nelson's
Sharptailed Sparrow in shrubs along the small creek running between the
Hilltop Circle and Pigpen pond next to UMBC campus, Baltimore Co. I did
not chase down the bird to ID the sub-species, but he was singing
relentlessly between 10-11AM today. I am heading back there shortly to try
to photograph this bird and some Northern Waterthrushes in the area.

Have a long and great weekend of birding!
