Greetings Birders,
Last night Jimmy Billstine and I followed up on a serpentine habitat we
scouted about 2 months ago in far upper Quines Creek, SSE of Azalea,
w/difficult access. At dusk we heard a single COMMON POORWILL, and a bit
later had a second detection that may or may not have been the same bird.
It was also fun to hear a pair of WESTERN SCREECH-OWLS near our "camp."
