My fishing partner and I spent from 10:00 a.m to 4 p.m. at Upper
Little River upstream from US 401 in Harnett County. Yes, we did catch
fish, including a 16" bass. We were serenaded by prothonotary warblers
the whole time and saw several, getting very good looks. I heard and saw
a Louisiana waterthrush and a white-eyed vireo. A phoebe is nesting
under the upstream side of the highway bridge again this year. We heard
and saw a red-shouldered hawk, heard a hawk (probably red-tailed)
scream, and saw a pair of accipiters (probably sharp-shinned). Those
were the highlights. We had lots of the usual culprits.
