I birded Riverbend Park (northern Catawba Co.) this morning. I was able to
locate the Broad-winged Hawk nest near the entrance to the park. The were
lots of migrants/breeders around. Here are the highlights:
Common Loon-- a flock of 7 flew over
Osprey-- 3
Wild Turkey-- A tom and hen
Spotted Sandpiper-- first of the season
Chimney Swift-- many
Great-crested Flycatcher-- first of the season
Cliff Swallow-- many
White-eyed Vireo
Blue-headed Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo-- first of season
Northern Parula
Yellow-rumped Warbler-- EVERYWHERE!!!
Black-and-white Warbler
Ovenbird-- first of the season
Common Yellowthroat--several
PROTHONOTARY WARBLER-- 2 males- first for the park! We are going to put up
some nest boxes
There are also many gulls still hanging around. Mostly Ring-billed but also
a few Bonaparte's.
