[Christian Kessler <northraven@xxxxxxx>]

arrived about 0940 this morning to find one group of 8 towards the 
Woodward Turf Farm sign, and another 3 close to the line with the 
neighboring Remington Turf Farm.  also a number of E. Meadowlarks, and a 
few Horned Larks.  then drove down Grassdale to see a Red-tailed Hawk 
apparently fly from a pole, appearing at first to be chased by a 
Kestrel, but the Kestrel caught up with & passed the Red-tail, & they 
both landed in trees about a quarter mile from where they started.  one 
juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker on one of the utility poles running up 
the drive to the northwest -- the one that is much paler than the 
others.  heard a Dickcissel at the corner of Grassdale & Sumerduck, but 
checked most of the sites identified by Todd Day a week ago & could not 
see one, or even hear another -- but by 1030 it was over 90 degrees, in 
addition to a week further into August.
