We then headed north to go to the partially developed Fairhope Falls subdivision off of CR 104 near Silverhill. Birding was a little slow there and it doesn't seem like there are as many sparrows as last year. In addition, most of us were fairly burned out, hungry, or needed a bathroom break after spending over two hours on our Where's Waldo puzzle so we only spent a little over a half hour at Fairhope Falls. However, everyone agreed that the area looked "birdy" and was worthy of further investigation. Keep those Fairhope Falls reports coming Karen!
