Hi All,
I am afraid I was lax in getting out the list of birds we found on Beaver Knob 
on July 21st. The highlight of the day was the two Peregrine Falcons that were 
flying very high against the white clouds. They were probably two of the young 
ones from the nearby Breaks Parks. It was also great to hear a Bob White. They 
are getting harder and harder to find.

Following is the list.
