Hi All,
Saturday, November 3rd, thirteen members of our Buchanan County Bird Club held
its annual Sparrow Day. The group once again gathered at the beautiful farm of
Billy-Ray and Shirley Justus of Guesses Fork in the northern part of Buchanan
County. Thirty-seven species were recorded for the day. The numbers of
individual birds and species were down this year, probably due in part to the
hard freeze of April, that killed off many food bearing plants, and to the
drought conditions that have persisted in the area for the past several months.
In spite of that the group had a great day with beautiful weather, some great
food and good conversations with birding friends. Sparrow species found were
Savannah, Song, White-throated, White-crowned, Swamp, Fox, Eastern Towhee and
DE Junco.
The complete list of the day's birds follows.
