Wright Farm-Bradley Co
For those of you who got to bird this great area, you will remember it as the
most reliable place for loggerhead shrike in Bradley Co. For those who
remember 20 or so years back, this was the site where Joe Stone found a Western
Kingbird. Anyway, this site will now be referred to as Wacker, and the habitat
has largely been destroyed. The lovely home of Robert and Barbara Wright is
now being used as offices. It is a shame.
Standifer Gap Marsh-Hamilton Co

sora-heard when John pitched a rock into the marsh-FOY for both of us.
Unfortunately, no Virginia rail heard.

birders this year. FOY for D.
