Yesterday (Jan 10) I birded in Western Washington County around Hales Chapel
Rd., Leesburg, Bowmantown, and Limestone. Highlights:
Hales Chapel Rd.
Red-headed Woodpecker 2
Loggerhead Shrike 1
The Woodpeckers were in the woodlot between the intersection of Shadden
Rd/Hales Chapel Rd. intersection and where the high voltage power lines cross
Hales Chapel Rd. The Shrike was just downhill a bit beyond the power lines.
Yankee Camp Rd.
Loggerhead Shrike 1
Intersection of Davy Crockett Rd and Keebler Rd.
N. Harrier 1
Keebler Rd.
Common Raven 2
Peregrine 1
Horned Larks 3 or more
The Peregrine had just caught some prey (I didn't see it catch it and I
couldn't identify what it was). The peregrine flew to a snag south of Keebler
Rd. and SE of the farm buildings to feast.
Also a Cooper's Hawk on Hales Chapel Rd, 6 Wild Turkeys flew over Armstrong
Hill Rd., and Red-tailed Hawks and Am. Kestrels were seen at numerous
places--at least 3 Red-tailed Hawks and at least 10 Kestrels.
