After work in Greene County I went to Joachim Bible Refuge (Lick Creek Bottoms 
WMA) to try to photograph the Rough-legged Hawk reported previously.  It was 
observed perched over S Mohawk Rd between Bible Chapel and Murray Bridge Rds 
and 
on both side of the road.  This is the general location it was observed soaring 
this weekend.  I had a great opportunity for a nice close-up shot, but a car 
came by and flushed the bird.  It appears to be a light-phase juvenile.  I did 
manage to shoot a couple diagnostic photos.

Also, on a tip from Rick Knight, I heard 2+ Am. Woodcock on the west end of 
Charlie Carson Rd.
