AmericanTree Sparrow, not easy to get anywhere, is especially difficult in 
Calvert Co. Yesterday one appeared in our yard for the first time. Quiz: in 
which micro-habitat was it? a) a Tree; b) on the ground; c) at a feeder ; d) in 
Broom Sedge.

Answer - d), in Broom Sedge, of course - the same venue that has given us Field 
Sparrow and Nashville Warbler, and, at BARC, the Western Shore's first LeConte's 
Sparrow. This grass can't be praised highly enough as habitat, introduced tho' 
it is.
