> 1230, there was no sign of the bird. I spoke briefly with Nancy Moore, and
> to the best of her knowledge, it was not seen yesterday either, but there may
> not have been any searchers. Thanks to Mark Greene and the Clendenens for

> There are plenty of other birds around though. I made a concerted effort at
> the Air Park Inn campground and nature trail near the lagoon for the A Tree
> Sparrows without success. There are a number of Fox Sparrows around, and at
> the beginning of the trail, a very sharp Orange-crowned Warbler was seen.
>
> Numerous Lapland Longspurs are mixed with the ubiquitous Horned Larks on the
> road to Phillipy pits. Northern Harriers are everywhere, and I saw more
> Loggerhead Shrikes than Mockingbirds!
>
> There is a nice gull roost behind the prison which today at 11 AM had several
> thousand RB Gulls, and I was also able to pick out one first year Thayers out
> of the mix. There could easily be some other goodies here, there were always
> at least 4 or 5 gulls coming and going the entire time I was there. To reach
> the birds, take Tn 212 off Hwy 78 and turn right on Carrington Road at the T.
> Take the next left on a presently unmarked road just past the prison, and
> then bear left on the signed Proctor City Road. In about half a mile you
> will see a large expanse of water (ice today) and lots of gulls. The roads
> in the Delorme do not match with these directions????? The lake may be the
> blue area just south of Cronanville in the atlas. This is the same general
> area that Jeff Wilson has found Thayers, California, and Iceland Gulls in the
> past. Hope this helps, I would be interested if anyone else checks the birds
> tomorrow
