Congrats to him! That appears to be the first record of grasshopper sparrow
at Hays / Garvin:-) He has a Merlin and a Vesper there too. What a day!
I live 2.5 miles from Caperton Swamp and have 107 species there. Mr.
Huestis managed 8 that I have never seen over the last 7 years. I like to
assume positive intent, so I find these cases a very interesting puzzle. I
really would like to know what on earth is going on with this person!

Right place, right time, I guess. I haven't seen 40 species in 8 minutes
probably anywhere in my life, including southeast Asia.

Wow...Phenomenal....!!!Asher Higgins
That's all I can say about a list posted today from Caperton Swamp by
Edward Huestis of Catonsville, Maryland.
I spent a good 1 hour there yesterday and only ended up with 18 species.
Edward Huestis spent 8 minutes at Caperton and listed 38 species
including American Black Duck, great horned owl, barred owl, yellow
throated vireo and 8 types of warblers including a worm eating warbler.
I have attached both Edward's and my list below for your reference.
Truly...I wish I had that kind of luck ...or birding skills !!
