Ran into Larry Meade at ~12:00, and he located the sparrow at 12:10 feeding on
the roadside be one of the grass triangles at the turn loop at the Visitor's
Center.
We followed the bird moving around mainly in front of the vistor's center
between the various trees and the flower bed along the front of the building;
occasionally it returned to the Leatherleaf Viburnum bushes along the parking
spaces adjacent to the handicapped spaces.
I last saw it flying from said flowerbed up into one of the maple trees at
12:30, just before I left.

Hey everyone,
Sorry if there was any confusion.
This morning at 7:55 I posted an email to va-bird about a Lark Sparrow.
Sally Knight and I found it this morning in the visitors center parking
lot. It is near the handicapped spots. Occasionally it would fly into a
tree and then return to the same location. My initial email has a picture
of the bird. We are still in the field. I can post more pictures when I
get home. I hope this helps!
Good birding!
