MISSBIRDERS,This morning I went searching for Sandhill Cranes along Ballentine Road in Panola Co. As I drove north on Holly Grove Road I was riding along side a runway for crop dusters and I spooked up a SPRAGUE'S PIPIT!!!!! It gave it's diagnostic call (a squeeky-SQUEET). I recognized the call and looked around in time to see it fly across the small grassy runway. I stopped the truck and got out and walked across the runway to the spot I thought it had landed. There it was 15 feet away walking into the cotton stubble. What a great bird to find anywhere in MS.
I did find Sandhill Cranes in Tunica Co. (27 of them) Gene Knight Oxford, MS IMPORTANT ADDRESSES Post message: missbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List owner: Martha Swan ulswan@xxxxxxxxxxx Unsubscribe: send email to missbird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx View archives: //www.freelists.org/archive/missbird/
