Minersville

["judy jordan" <thane at accesswest dot com>]

There are some springs above Minersville that support a large flock of 
pinion jays.  I also saw a White-throated sparrow there around 9 A M 
this morning.  I could have had a good picture but it was a casual 
little trip while training my husbands homeing pigeons.   There were two 
immature Snowy Egrets at the resivoir, a merlin scaring the kildeers.  
No ducks, perhaps down the other end.  The water has been let out 
recently leaving lots of small and large puddles.   Those springs are 
north on a dirt road off of rt 21 almost directly from where 130 "T's"   
with it.  Dripping Springs is the name of the first one on the UT R & R 
Atlas.     I like the Minersville area for birding and need to explore a 
lot more.  There are lots of mines around too for the rock hounders.
