This morning I spent several hours at Harris Lake, visiting both the
CP&L visitor center and the Wake County park. My primary goal was
sparrows, but I did better on general woodland birds. Here's the
list:
pileated woodpecker--1
red-bellied woodpecker--2
downy woodpecker--1
tufted titmouse--many
Carolina chickadee--many
brown-headed nuthatch--1
ruby-crowned kinglet--many
golden-crowned kinglet--many
great-blue heron--1
American coot--many
pied-billed grebes--at least 4
bluebird--at least 6
American goldfinch--many
song sparrow--many
swamp sparrow--1
white-throated sparrow--at least 6
chipping sparrow--at least 3
dark-eyed junco--many
red-winged blackbird--10-12
American crow--many
Driving from Fayetteville to Harris Lake and back added the following:
red-tailed hawk
mourning dove
European starling
rock dove
Given the lack of rainfall in recent weeks, the weedy fields that I
checked for other sparrows were virtually birdless.
