Steven, that&#039;s why I never go out there on weekends during the hunting season, but since I&#039;m retired I have that luxury. It wasn&#039;t bad at all this morning. 

Btw, I believe that road is about 2 miles long from the gate by the hill to the 4-way pond. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ron,

Speaking of the earlier post...  I recognized the &quot;perch&quot; in your post from which the Merlin was chased so I went out Saturday morning to test my luck.  I didn&#039;t see the Merlin but I did count over 175 (175!!) hunter&#039;s vehicles in that favorite little area!  Then whole road can&#039;t be much over a mile.  I couldn&#039;t believe it.  Of course, it was a Saturday and half the county was out to hunt. I didn&#039;t find much and you can understand why.  It is amazing to me that there are any birds out there at all.  How do any of them survive the winter?

Still, I enjoy going out there.

Best,

Stephen]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How ruu-uude!  The little stinkers scaring away this lovely gal.  Hopefully, you&#039;ll get another shot at her before she gets out of Dodge.

I like the unusual takeoff shot.  Bummer about that wing, but the shot is still pretty nifty!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Are those feathers or leaves or something else on her breast?
She’s welcome to come here as well, although I can’t speak for the locals (birds, that is).]]></description>
