I'm forwarding the following from Kevin Seymour: Clay-colored Sparrow in Mount Pleasant Cemetary For three mornings now (Tues-Thurs) a Clay-colored Sparrow has been singing in the same section of Mount Pleasant Cemetary, Section 54. This is the extreme north-east corner of the cemetary. If you stand at the sign (saying Section 54), and look north-east to Bayview Avenue, there are two oaks that it likes to sing from, a large White Oak right on Bayview (the largest tree in the area) and a smaller Red Oak, just west of the White Oak. If you find the sign, and it is singing, you will hear it: three fairly loud buzzy insect-like notes. You can enter the cemetary on foot only from the gate in the middle of the cemetary on Bayview Ave (you can park on Bayview during non-rush hour times), or drive in from the Mt Pleasant entrance and make your way by car to the eastern side and park somewhere. The cemetary is open approximately sunrise to sunset, or about 7 am to 7 pm (maybe earlier and later, the hours shift seasonally). Kevin Seymour
