:S I am SO EMBARRASSED! :S  I forgot to mention what Rob's ID was.

The Bird was Identified as a Grasshopper Sparrow by Rob, and later by "Ima Birder".  But also female bobolink, and possible Juveniles of three or four other sparrows were given as possibilities from others.

The Internet being the wealth of info that it is, I went to www.enature.com and www.allaboutbirds.org (Cornell's site) and listened to the sounds that they all made.  The call of a Grasshopper Sparrow perfectly matched what I was hearing yesterday (A rather long buzz followed by some random notes.)

So that is what I'm going with.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Have a great day!

Happy Birding and God bless.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 

(Matthew 10.29-31)
