Buchanan Birders,

Michelle, Chazzy and I spent a couple of hours at Beaver Knob this morning.  
The birding was slow but we did find about 25 species or so.  The highlight was 
a Grasshopper Sparrow who simply ignored us while he sang from eye level in the 
top of a small autumn olive bush.  We walked up to about 20 feet of him and 
watched him for several minutes with our binoculars.  If only I had brought my 
video camera!

You photographers would have loved this bird.  Other birds included 
Meadowlarks, a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks, White-eyed Vireos, Chipping 
Sparrows, Field Sparrows, and Chats.

Off to Guesses Fork in Hurley now for a July 4th cookout.

Ed Talbott
