Dave Brenneman and I went down to North E.A. Vaughn today to look for the Clay-colored Sparrow.  We found him with much patience just as you enter the north entrance of E.A. Vaughn off Taylor's Landing Road, about 20 yards in on the right among a flock of Song and Field Sparrows.

If you continue on that gravel road, turning right at the parking lot, there's a pair of Kestrels cavorting about and then when you come to a field on your left with a few young pine trees in it, there was an Eastern Phoebe on the edge of the woods and in the field itself, a covey of about 8 Northern Bobwhite.

In the past, we've been told not to drive past the parking lot, but today a DNR person was there and said as long as we stayed on the gravel road, we could go on around the loop that comes back out on to Taylor's Landing Road.
