Today I went back to Beaver Dam Creek in southeastern Cumberland
County, looking for spring and summer birds. I walked the road for a
way on either side of the creek and found a yellow-breasted chat, my
first of the year and my first in the county. I ran across a couple of
swamp sparrows but no other winter sparrows.
As I drove back to Fayetteville on Rte. 210, I looked for scrubby
old fields looking for prairie warblers. I stopped just east of Ava and
Doe Hill roads at a field in which I heard and possibly saw a prairie
warbler, heard a bobwhite, and saw a loggerhead shrike. That was a
profitable stop.
