Hello, Chris Wiley, Nancy, and I spent a splendid hour at the Goetchius preserve east of Slaterville Springs on Sunday morning . We mainly concentrated on listening for the locally elusive Sora, which decided not to sing for us. However, we were able to see and hear some other very nice birds for the area.
