Gray Partridge

["Jim Bailey" <jim at bailey dot aros dot net>]

Hi,

Terry Sadler and I located a flock of Gray Partridge in Paradise this 
morning. It must have been the same flock (about 20 or so birds) that 
visited Jim Lofthouse's feeder last Friday. We found out later that we 
had inadvertently ventured onto private property to see the birds -- 
Oops!

The birds were seen along an unmarked road (private driveway) about 100 
yards or so east of 300 East in Paradise. The approximate street number 
for the driveway would be 9350 South. We followed the birds along the 
road in the car for quite a distance before they flushed and flew off to 
the north and east.

We had no luck relocating the Cackling (?) Goose at Kays Creek this 
morning. We also checked for the Fulvous Whistling-Duck on Forest Street 
without success. The large flock of Horned Larks (with Lapland Longspur) 
near Benson were not found - it's starting to get very foggy around 
Logan, which might have something to do with it. We were able to locate 
the GH Owl, however, at milepost 15.2.

I'm not complaining, as the Gray Partridge was a lifer for me :-)

A great day!
