["Ed Talbott" <etalbott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bristol Birders,

Several members of the Buchanan County Bird Club spent the day birding the 
reclaimed strip
mine site at Guesses Fork here in Buchanan County.  A total of ten different 
species of
sparrow made appearances during the day - including one Henslow's and one 
Grasshopper
Sparrow.  The top bird of the day was a strangely marked Towhee - probably 
partially
leucistic.  For those interested, here is a link to a trip write-up and 
pictures.
