Work Trip to RTP (10-12Jun2014)

I had to go to RTP for an audit this week which is usually bad news but on Wednesday I got an email through the list serv (Carolinabirds) from Ryan Justice that he had a Grasshopper Sparrow at Inwood Rd.  Well I knew that Ryan's word was bond.  He showed his skills at the CBC pointing out many birds before the group leader could and he good ears for songs. So as soon as I got out of the audit I headed down and was not disappointed.


Grasshopper Sparrow - large bill, rufous spots on back, buffy unmarked breast and dark spot on auriculars.


Median crown stripe.


He was singing like crazy but its a frequency I can barely hear.









This Eastern Meadowlark I could hear.


Thanks Ryan!
