Great find Dave. Having found Soras there for two years in a row may mean
they stop by there during migration each year. If it proves to be the case
that would be fantastic.
I'll keep my fingers crossed on having the Bobolinks nesting near your home.
As far as I know of nesting records for the area, that would be a first for
the county.

Subject: [bcbirdclub] Southern Gap Sora
My cousin Dan and I decided to do a little birding at Southern Gap this
morning on his way out of town. While there we played a Sora call just in
case one had showed up where Daryl Owens found one last year. We were amazed
when we got an immediate response in the exact location as last year's bird.
The tiny cattail marsh in front of Sykes is once again hosting a migratory
Sora. On another note, Dan and I found a pair of Bobolinks in the hayfield
across the creek from our home yesterday evening. It would be great if they
chose to nest there.
