just got in from a week atlasing priority
  blocks from Ada to Cambridge to Deer Creek.

  Still digesting the data so don't have much to
  pass along now but thought to make a quick
  mention of a Northern Shrike seen today in
  Madison County roughly 3 miles or so sw.
  of Batelle-Darby Creek MP.

  Refer to Delorme 67B6

  from Columbus, I suggest following US 62 sw.
  from Grove to 665 then west to Georgesville-Wrightsville Rd,
  turning sw. there to Lilly Chapel-Opossum Rd. Head nw.
  and shortly turn onto (w) Pringle-Benjamin Rd. After a mile
  or so, the road jogs sharply left (south) ... at the jog is a
  pulloff ... looking nw. a tan brick building (Fairfield Twp. School)
  is visible in the distance ... the shrike was was just across the
  open field in that direction.

  Savannah Sparrow and Red-breasted Nuthatch were also along
  this road.

  nothing so striking was had within the other blocks although
  Chipping Sparrows and Ruby-crowned Kinglets were unexpected.

  cheers
