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).
