C.Birders,
Though this morning didnt, at first, seem to be offering much activity, 29 species were picked up at Kerr Scott Lake in North Wilkesboro within 3 hours after sun-up.
Commoners:
american robins
eastern bluebirds
northen mockingbirds
brown thrasher (suitably thrashing about in dead leaves)
american crows
white-throated sparrows
ruby-crowned kinglets
northern flickers
eastern phoebes (playing the banjo)
carolina wrens
mallards
belted kingfishers
song sparrows (singing)
northern cardinals
eastern tufted titmice
mourning dove
pileated woodpeckers (on percussion)
dark-eyed juncos
white-breasted nuthatches (on horns)
american goldfinches
field sparrow
unidentified accipiter (working the bluebird boxes)
Not so common (to us in Boone):
lesser scaup (at least 30 from afar)
mucho golden-crowned kinglets
1 common loon
1 bufflehead
2 horned grebes (in a neat intermediate plumage)
2 hermit thrush
1 pine warbler
No joke.
Cant wait till spring is arriving up-slope a bit more. And we shall all join in the festivities, merrily watching warblers in trees with no leaves (for a couple of weeks).
