["Roger Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Area Birders,
Today my wife and I did some species scouting for The Breaks Park CBC, which is 
coming up this Saturday. We birded Poplar Gap Park near Grundy. On the way 
there we picked up an EASTERN PHOEBE and a PILEATED WOODPECKER. 
Once we got to the park we found the resident flock of 13 HORNED LARKS. Feeding 
near them were 2 EASTERN MEADOWLARKS.  A COMMON RAVEN croaked from nearby, and 
another PILEATED WOODPECKER called from the woods, as well as a NORTHERN 
FLICKER. We spent about an hour birding the area, adding AM CROWS, AM ROBINS, 
BLUE JAY, CAROLINA CHICKADEE, STARLINGS, NORTHERN CARDINALS, SONG SPARROWS and 
WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS to our list.
After leaving the park we spotted a GREAT BLUE HERON near the mouth of Slate 
Creek in Grundy.
Enjoy the birds,

Roger Mayhorn
