Birders,
Jacob Socolar and I enjoyed participating in the newly organized Duke
Forest Bird Survey this morning. (For more info, see
http://www.env.duke.edu/forest/). While we didn't find any rarities, we
were pleased to find several nice breeders including a couple Scarlet
Tanagers, five L. Waterthrushes, some chats, several Hooded Warblers, and
a couple of Prairie Warblers. We only heard a few Wood Thrushes, though.
That species seems to be down in numbers even more this year. Another
highlight was having a Barred Owl fly right down the trail at 11am.
Good birding,
Jeff
