Birders,
The S. Lake Norman CBC held on Dec. 19 totalled 8897 individuals of 96
species. Good finds that drizzly, cool day include OSPREY, VIRGINIA RAIL
(heard only) RED-BREASTED MERGANSER (3) and N. PINTAIL (2). There were no
particularly notable misses except perhaps N. HARRIER; but this bird is
becoming rare in Mecklenburg county as development continues. PURPLE FINCHES
and RB NUTHATCHES were reported but PINE SISKINS were not found. Special
thanks to David Wright for the use of his boat to search the lake despite AM
whitecaps; and his home for the tally up dinner.
