The day I was there (2/2/2005), I saw 20+ SEOWs, 2 Rough-legs, 4 Harriers,
the lucistic RTHA, too many other RTHAs to count, Savannah Sparrows ... all
of these from the one spot near the farmhouse near the intersection of
Bigham and Pumping Station Rds within an hour of each other.

Continuing north on Pumping Station Road for 1.6 miles to the intersection
of Roberta Way and Pumping Station Rd, I also saw an immature Red-shouldered
Hawk which I was lucky enough to photograph and get a recording of its call.

If you would like to see the pics and listen to the field recording of the
RSHA giving a call, they are at:

PS: the metronome-like noise you hear in the recording is my car flashers,
which I absentmindedly didn't think to turn off as I was recording.
