February 5, 2005 Joachime Bible Refuge unit of Lick Creek Bottoms Wildlife Management Area (JBR); nearby areas in western Greene County Alice Loftin and I travelled to the western end of the county this afternoon looking especially for icterids and harriers. Luck was with us in both instances, with a little extra to boot. Here are the high points: Northern Harrier (16, conservatively counted, at JBR at dusk--this is my highest single-site total for harriers); Cooper's Hawk (at JBR); Red-tailed Hawk (6); American Kestrel (8); Loggerhead Shrike (at intersection of Highway 348 and Highway 340); Horned Lark (along Highway 340); Rusty Blackbird (at least 12 on Toby Road and Glades Road); Brewer's Blackbird (at least 1 on Toby Road).
