Southern Lake Norman CBC



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.
