Hi All, I actually did the reverse starting in the Adams Grasslands and Pumping Station Road near the Sachs covered bridge. The real treat was another Loggerhead Shrike perched on a woodpile just 1/3 mile west of the bridge, not 20 feet off the road on the left side. Raptors were everywhere and up close and personal in the grasslands and included 7 Kestrels, 1 Merlin, 3 Red Shouldered, 5 Red tails, 1 Rough-legged and 2 adult Bald Eagles perched in a dead tree. The highlight of the grasslands was a beautiful "Grey-Ghost", male Northern Harrier hunting a winter season grassland.
Once into Maryland and along the way near the Mason Dixon Farm I spotted another adult Bald Eagle in flight. Bullfrog Road between Harney Road and Route 140 added more Red tails and a Sharpie.
I ended up at the short-ear spot at the then of Bullfrog road but the darn sun had come out and I didn't have the time to stay later for any short-ears. I did notice auto tracks in the wet grass at the area so perhaps others may have been lucky the evening before.
Jim
