Hello,

 

I made a loop through western Greene Co. this afternoon (12-23) ...and recorded 
40 species.  The Juacine-Bible refuge is closed til March...to let the ducks 
rest up, so my waterfowl numbers were down.  I had a good day with woodpeckers 
and hawks!  I had six woodpecker species...missed only the Hairy....with 
Red-headed at two locations, Smelcer Rd and Sapp Rd. The Merlin was perched on 
a pole on Hwy 340...and waited for me to stop before he flew....giving me a 
good look with my 7X35 's.  

 

Other highlights, 2 C.Snipe, 35 Hornlarks flying over, 45 pipits off 
Murray-bridge Rd and two Purple Finch.

 

Keep on brdn!
