Clyde Sorenson, Eric Sorenson and I drove down from the Triangle and
arrived at the site at 8:05, Sat Feb 2. The G-T Towhee rewarded us with
its first appearance at 8:33. It was in sight and in the open pretty
regularly for the next 30 minutes when we left for Ft. Fisher.
Pretty bird. Worth the chase, and the 4:30 a.m. alarm in Bahama to meet
the time table.
The other birds were as other have named.
The trip to Ft. Fisher was nice. Highlights include Bald Eagle, Osprey,
Hudsonian Godwit (3), about 25 Am. Oyster Catchers on the jetty, Red
Throated loon (3).
We missed the Eurasian Wigeon in Wilmington.
