Hi all,
Thanks to George Jett for finding the Ruff "Reeve" and
to Walter Ellison for the goose at Great Oak Pond.
Many more geese arrive at Great Oak Pond. Nice to have
them back.
About 90 percent of the passerines we saw at Clyburn
was down the stump-dump trail toward the lumberyard.
51 species was the best we had in October. In the
past, we usually get an average of 40 species every
October.
