I just got back home to WV after a trip to Cape May and Ocean City. I have
not had an internet connection until now, so I did not post anything sooner.

I had the same bird in the same location with the same Field Sparrow flock
on Friday morning, October 3. Nancy and I went there for a walk along the
shell road after early morning birding at the canoe rental area in the
National Park area. Thanks for the confirmation.
