Yesterday I completed my BBS that starts in southern Appanoose and finishes in Davis County. Highlights were the first Acadian Flycatcher along with the third Blue Grosbeak.,Also we had a Vesper sparrow, Grasshopper Sparrows, Yellow-breasted Chat, Pileated Woodpecker and Red-Shouldered Hawk. Disappointing was no Mockingbirds and only 3 Quail. I was hoping the Quail numbers would improve. It was a successful count and I had a mother and her 2 daughters came with her father , Larry Piatt a member of our local club. They may take over this count in the future and younger ears and good birding skills will be helpful.. Tom Johnson Mystic, Ia.
