Hi birders, Covered a lot of ground and finished much of the N (mostly central) 
portion of quad and some of southeast/ central. Missed quite a few, had some 
decent ones. Numbers of some that have been high were much lower, and 
vice-versa. 


Mentionable-


N Bobwhite- 1- at about the middle of Middle between Old 80 and Old Antioch

Broad-winged Hawk- 1 On Fuller Cemetery about midway between Old 80 and Old 
Antioch- Knocked about an inch (maybe more (; ) of dust off the Canon to get 
one identifiable shot.........
Greater Roadrunner- 1, almost certain of 2 separate birds calling at the same 
loc. At VERY first stop at Old Antioch and Harris. Recorded. 

Northern Flicker- 3
CACH-14, TUTI-40 !
American Robin- 1 singer, recorded at Old 80 and Harris.
Prairie Warbler- 2, Singing male on Harris, then very ratty ad female/ hym near 
1st stop of morning while on way back out- photoed.
Black-and-White "- 6- all singing males. 2 again at one stop, then rest 
singles. All in N-central portion
Worm-eating "- 2 (prob 3) Recorded first singing male at 2nd stop of the day- 
on Old Antioch approz 200 yards E of Harris. Another singer on Old Antioch W of 
Fuller Cemetery. The quad looks really good for these............
Louisiana Waterthrush- 1. Bridge on Old Antioch- N-e portion of quad.
Summer Tanager- 18
Lark Sparrow- 1- Nelson Oil and Gas on Shadows near Middle
Blue Grosbeak- 24.........chock full of 'em.
Painted Bunting- Sep singing males at Nelson Oil and Gas
House Finch- 1 male at residence with mailbox 1625/Lowe on Middle/Jack Martin- 
somewhat noteworthy as quite rural.

I birded until noon then pond-hopped until 1:15, again subtracting 30 minutes 
for both driving between ponds and lunch. Alas, Cattle Egret was the only water 
bird of the day- and definitely not for lack of trying.......


Good birding,

Terry
