Ok, I know everyone hates alpha codes...but I couldn't resist. While golfing with Laura tonight at Southern Hills Golf Course (one mile north of Farmington on Hi 3), I hit a stellar 7 iron to the green on hole #11, a par 3. A Westen Kingbird (WEKI) immediately descended on the ball but, realizing it was not edible, flew up to a small spruce tree. As we approached the green, the WEKI flew out into adjacent fence row and continued to aerial feed. I then proceeded to 3-putt for a BOGY. Green fees are quite reasonable if you want to look for this bird. Twilight rates (cheapest) begin at 3:00pm. It is dead center in the middle of the otherwise inaccessible section. Of minor interest...at this same hole in previous years, I have recorded Swainson's Hawk, Orchard Oriole, Brewer's Blackbird, Baird's Sandpiper, Upland Sandpiper (vocal only), and yes, my one and only hole in one!! This is the ONLY reason I continue to prusue this draconian game.
