Ellington Ag Center
Davidson Co.
I had my first Purple Finch ever for Ellington this morning, singing in the 
trees right above the iris garden parking lot off Hogan Rd./Marchant Dr.  That 
makes 108 species in 1 1/2 years recording there.  There was also a pair of 
Eastern Phoebes, a pair of American Kestrels, a pair of Red-tailed Hawks 
nesting 
on the electrical tower along the Edmondson Pk. field, and a pair of Brown 
Creepers.  Lots of pairing up these days.  The Red-winged Blackbirds are back 
and singing, and the Field Sparrows are also in full song.

I also had an American Woodcock displaying from the big sparrow field there 
on 2/21, and others heard them there last week.
