Just a few notes of birds seen while cycling in Rutherford county over the =
last week. On Thursday (5th), I flushed a woodcock from a wet roadside =
ditch while riding into a wicked headwind while half frozen (way colder =
then I planned on). =20
On Saturday afternoon, in the miserable cold wind, I flushed 2 bobwhite =
from the roadside by a house and they flew up onto the short mowed lawn =
and ran around. Very odd place for bobwhite. In any event, I hear quail =
in all kinds of small isolated patches of generally unmowed grass all over =
Rutherford County. =20
With the cold and wind lately, I've heard no new migrants. Not even a =
Red-eyed Vireo yet. Just plenty of Gnatcatchers.
Cheers,
