Birders,
Will Cook, Mike Tove, Harry LeGrand and I checked out Jordan & Falls
Lakes in the triangle area of NC today after Floyd's passage last night.
Unfortunately (for birding) Floyd seems to have gone too far to the east
to bring any interesting birds. As Steve Schultz already reported, we
saw a hundred or so terns at Jordan Lake, mostly Commons, and 3 Black
Terns. Will also saw a large flock (ca. 50) of Forster's, and a couple
Royals.
At Fall's Lake, we saw NO Floyd birds. Unfortunately, however Will
spotted a couple of Fire Ant mounds along the roadside.
We also found fire ant mounds and NO Floyd birds at Lake Crabtree near
the RDU airport. Also saw NO Floyd birds at the BriarCreek Res. at RDU.
Looking forward to reading the coastal reports.
