We had a great day birding at Carvers Gap & Hampton Creek Cove. From the list below, with a lot of help from Mike, I was able to add 15 life birds! I also learned learned a lot today. Mike was full of a good information concerning location, elevation, climate, season, migration, vegetation, not to mention the birds.

Went to several places today. Lists are below. The highlight was a
Henslow's Sparrow. As we were walking down the gravel road leading out
of Hampton Creek Cove a bird flushed from the edge of the road in some
weeds right beside my foot The bird flew to a perch on a part of the
old house and then retreated to the ground on the other side. Attempts
to relocate the bird were unsuccessful. The constant barking from the
local hounds didn't help in out attempts. Any thoughs on the early
date would be appreciated as the current possible date listed in Rick
Knights book is Oct 2 - 29.
