Frank Lospalluto, Forrest English, and myself birded around the greater Ashland area this morning. The highlights were a SWAMP SPARROW at North Mountain Park. We also saw a MERLIN, a PEREGRINE FALCON, and a GOLDEN EAGLE being mobbed by around 20 CROWS. Swamp Sparrow was a county bird for me! Thanks Frank and Forrest! Jimmy Billstine
