Mark Johnson and I went out early last Sunday morning in Campbell County
near Concord. We were lucky enough to hear bobwhite quail in two different
locations. Mark also spotted a red headed woodpecker on S.R. 737 in a
clearcut area. Very hot and so dry that it looks like southern California
around here. Unfortunately we did not find any dickcissels or horned larks
Listed below were other birds seen on Sunday:
