If the animals was pretty small (~3 inches) this is likely a lead phase of a 
Red-backed Salamander.  I found two last week while searching for other 
herps in the warm weather.  I am copying Sue Muller, the Howard Co. herp 
coordinator, in case this would be a new data point for that block.

There was a small flock of CHIPPING SPARROWS still lingering around the park
office ballfields. Otherwise a slow day for birds in the woods on an
amazingly warm day. Fantastic to be out though since I found a beautiful
salamander http://flic.kr/p/bmGhNx . I also watched a bat fly around the
powerlines for some time...it was large and reddish brown.
