Just got back from UMBC after searching for the Nelson's Sharptailed
Sparrow without luch. I will be in the area from early tomorrow morning so
hopefully I will hear it again. Other birds of note:
Red-tailed Hawk--1
Red-shouldered Hawk--2
Cooper's Hawk--1
Common Nighthawk--1
Warbling Vireo--4
Northern Waterthrush--3
Wilson's Warbler--2 males

This morning I also had a singing Lincoln's Sparrow and Rose-breasted
Grosbeak in the woods behind our yard.
