A small group I led on a bird walk this morning to Lilypons Water 
Gardens in Frederick County several times heard a Sora call, and we 
thought that there might perhaps be two birds there.  We didn't see 
one, however.

Nice actual sightings for our group, which was sponsored by the MD/DC 
Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, were of very large groups of Tree 
Swallows, numbering over 250 by our count, a late Green Heron, a 
female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and single Northern Parula and 
Black-throated Green Warbler.  A pair of Red-shouldered Hawks, 
accompanied by one young bird, were very visible and vocal.  No great 
number of sparrows, yet, but we did see one Savannah.
