Our Rutherford/Cleveland County Venture on Memorial Day produced some very
good sightings for a very pleasant day out in the farm country.
Highlights had to be the Loggerhead Shrike and its larder of a grub pinned
to a barbed wire fence, a male Am. Kestrel (probably on territory), singing
Blue-headed Vireo, 10+ Prairie Warblers, and best of all, 2 pairs of Horned
Larks. One male of 1 pair showed us his incredible display flight, as he
climbed higher and higher into the blue sky, singing as he climbed.
My thanks to Jo Ann Martin for co-leading the Venture and scouting out all
of the goodies!
Our next Ventures are here in the NC Mountains:
20 July Blue Ridge Mountains
21 August Mt. Mitchell
19 September Curtis Creek
There are also a couple of spaces still open on our Venture to Provence and
the Pyrenees in the south of France this September.
Contact me for details.
