Ladies and Gents,

I've had the pleasure of reporting two sightings of rough-legged hawks in
northern Floyd County over the past two weeks.  I understand that these are
infrequent visitors to Georgia (my first sighting made the rare bird alert),
and I therefore felt that this was something of a noteworthy event.  When I
got to work today my secretary told me that she had spotted an ostrich in an
(unfenced) field adjacent to Old Dalton Road in northern Floyd County.  I was
as skeptical about this sighting as some (who know me as a novice) might have
been about my rough-legged hawk sighting.  My secretary, however, was armed
with a digitial camera and has photographic proof of her sighting.  I've been
one-upped.

My best to you,

Dan Roper
