I spent a couple of hours this morning in the area where the Clay-colored 
has been seen, with no luck. However, there were a lot of birds working in 
the area, and getting looks at the sparrows was pretty tough today. A few 
Palm Warblers are still in the area, but today there were more Chipping 
Sparrows than anything else. Nothing I saw today looked like the 
Clay-colored, but there were enough birds around that I could have easily 
missed it. Sparrows are definitely in, today I had Lincoln's, Savannah, 
Chipping, Field, and singles of White-throated, White-crowned, Vesper, and 
Swamp.

The ragweed wasn't hopping with birds like it was yesterday, and I didn't 
see or hear a single Rose-breasted Grosbeak, where there were at least a 
dozen yesterday. I will likely try for the Clay-colored one more time in the 
morning.

Good Birding!!
