Hi John/ all, Nice southeastern find, bro!! I also had two Clay-colored 
Sparrows this morning along the bayou that intersects Bee Bend subdivision- 
this just North of Bossier off of Vanceville Rd in Bossier par. Fos for us (I'm 
thinking, anyway...) here but by no means early. Another grounded migrant there 
was a Northern Waterthrush slinking among the baldcypress and calling 
frequently. A slow trickle of 8-10 Indigo Buntings overhead to S from singles 
to groups of 2 and a latish Dickcissel, all during a thirty minute mid-morning 
stretch, wrapped up the finds there.

Yesterday evening at 7:05 while leaving my nephew's 14th birthday party at 
Santa Fe restaurant on Airline Dr ~.5 miles N of I-220, I singly counted 127 
Great-tailed Grackle amongst starlings on the wires and tops of small live oaks 
adjacent the road. After counting those, we tried making a beeline only a 
little over a mile South of I-220 to count any other GTGR gatherings on the 
wires near Walmart and Sonic. However and not surprisingly for anyone who knows 
Bossier City traffic in this particular area, it was nearly dark before we got 
there..........

Good birding,

Terry

All;

A Clay-colored Sparrow was spotted at the LUMCON facility this morning.
This appears to be the 1st land-based record for the parish.

I've posted a couple of photos which are linked to the eBird checklist I
submitted.

Best,
