Glen,
You found some good birds at Rural Retreat. I need the Sedge Wren and the
Nelson's Sharp-tail. We're leaving for the Outer Banks of NC this weekend
for a week, but maybe when we get back we could get together at Rural
Retreat and do some birding.
Keep finding those good birds.

Roger

Rural Retreat Lake just off Interstate 81 in Wyhte County, produced
several good birds on Sat (Oct 12) and Mon (Oct 14).  We had a good
number (10 - 12) Lincolns Sparrows; 5 - 7 Savannah Sparrows; 4 -5
White throated Sparrows; 4 - 5 Swamp Sparrows plus several Field &
Song Sparrows.  Alan Boynton and I had 2 Sedge Wrens on Monday as
well.  This area is a prime spot for the Nelsons Sharp-tail Sparrow
and with enough people walking the area together, I believe that
some good birds could be flushed.  Alan and I also had a lingering
Common Yellowthroat and 20 - 30 Tree Swallows.  Duck species seen
were: Blue-wing Teal 12, Green-wing Teal 3, American Wigeon 1,
Gadwall 2, along with Canada Geese and Mallards.  Anyone interested
in a group jaunt through the area please contact me and we will see
if we can indeed flush up some good birds.
