Limestone, Washington Co., TN
At a little past four this afternoon, I stopped briefly at Keebler Road
and Smith Bridge Road in the Limestone community of Washington County,
hoping to find the Sandhill Crane and Rough-legged Hawk reported by Don
Holt a couple of days ago. No hawks were to be seen, but the crane was
present along Keebler Road.
While in the area, I also drove down Smith Bridge Road (which intersects
Keebler Road) and was delighted to encounter a flock of twelve Lapland
Longspurs moving over the corn field in bounding flight and calling
vigorously. Also present along Smith Bridge Road was a flock of 5000+
Common Grackles flying westward in a long, thin ribbon.
