October 2nd, Bird watching

Todays bird watching adventure was full of amazing sightings. It started off at Deep Hollow Ranch where we were able to catch sight of some very interesting birds. There were a lot of Grackles due to the cow feeding station. After observing these specimens for a little while we moved on down the dirt road into a little clearing where we were able to spot a Peregrine Falcon flying by! after standing there for a while, we headed back to the car to go to another spot, but as we were pulling out of the ranch we noticed some Sand Pipers in a puddle. Next stop was Teddy Roosevelt County Park. Here we saw a Lark Sparrow which took the bird of the day award. We also saw a Merlin Falcon, A Belted King-Fisher, and three Turkey Vultures. all in all today was a very good day in the world of us weirdo bird watchers.
