As in recent years, I found a pair of Blue Grosbeaks and a single Lark Sparrow at Oakes Quarry Park just off I-675 near Fairborn. The Blue Grosbeaks were a short walk from the parking lot where the road/trail opens up. The Lark Sparrow was further in where there is less vegetation. There was also a Prairie Warbler singing from the cedars near the parking lot.
