The GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE at Southport , NC is still being seen at the usual 
spot. From Southport take Rte. 211 towards the Fort Fisher Ferry terminal. 
Stay straight when 211 turns right to the ferry. The road will end. Take a 
right onto Shepherd Rd. and go 1/4 mile to a patch of dried weeds on the 
left. Look for an area that has been cleared for birdseed. Watch this spot 
for the towhee.

ferries at the Cedar Island terminal. Last reported on 3-30.

A LARK SPARROW has been seen at Huntington Beach State Park in SC. Look along 
the gravel campground road at the tent-camping area.

Thanks to Ken Behrens, Keith Camburn for their calls and reports.
