Sandhills are finally starting to accumulate at Cecilia now that they are not threatened. This afternoon, Amy Covert and I counted probably at least 2000 in various flocks in the area. There were very few at the fire station (most of these fields were in soybeans last year, which are not as attractive to the birds). There were at least three distinct groups visible from KY 86 east and west of the fire station, though, and loops to the north and south of KY 86 yielded some additional birds. No white ones.
