Subject:      Northern harrier (Arrowhead, Floyd Co.)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Ladies and Gents,

Spent the late afternoon birding at Arrowhead.  The best of 34 species
identified was a northern harrier cruising over the 2nd and 3rd pond areas.  This is
only the second time this year I've seen a harrier there (the other being on
November 17).  My tally was pretty good considering the near complete absence
of waterfowl (I did see a great blue heron and a belted kingfisher).  No ducks
today and not even a Canada goose.  In fact, the only duck I've seen this
week was a mallard yesterday.  The red-winged blackbirds and European starlings
have been oddly absent the past few weeks.

Sincerely,

Dan Roper
Armuchee (Floyd County), GA
