Birders,
Imagine my surprise just a few minutes ago when I was stopped at the corner of 
OHB and Hillsboro Pk. and because the windows were down, I heard a Grasshopper 
Sparrow singing loudly.  Surprising to me, I saw him sitting on the rock wall 
of the new Forest Hills building just going up.  Nobody was working today and 
guess he had the place to himself.
It always amazes me where they may turn up.
Also earlier in my backyard, I heard a comotion of Crows having  fit and they 
were chasing two Black Vultures who were voicing arrk, arrk.  I have never 
heard them say anything but huff.   They landed on top of my next-door 
neighbor's house and sat for a while.  The Mocking Birds, who have nests 
nearby, took over the fight and chased the Crows.  They chase these 10-12 Crows 
all day long.  Lots of bird entertainment today!
