This morning, (July 4), I did some more birding in the southern part of the Monocacy Grassland Important Bird Area.  Highlights were a far away Dickcissel in fields on the east side of Stauffer Road a half mile SW of Water Street near Walkersville, a Prairie Warbler along Renner Road west of Johnsville, a Savannah Sparrow along Stauffer Road near Crum Road, and 8 Grasshopper Sparrows at various places along my route. Unfortunately I could not find any Vesper Sparrows even in areas of suitable habitat or in places I found them last year.
