Am posting this for a fellow birder who is not a member of MDOSPREY.  
She saw and heard the Sora this afternoon at 4:30 at Hughes Hollow. It  
was at the far (west) end of the west impoundment (if you are in the  
parking area facing the impoundments it's the impoundment on the  
right, closest to the parking area).   She saw it for about a minute  
before it flew off.

LOTS of water snakes busy making more water snakes in the impoundments  
today!
