Birding in the rain pays off, sometimes. About 60 colorful, noisy Bobolinks
occupied the small trees and scrub today near noon at the end of Macedonia
Church Rd. (Do NOT step off the roadway pavement or venture beyond the
dead-end barrier. You WILL be reported by the residents, and you WILL be
harrassed by the Cabarrus County Sherriff's Police!)
The swifts numbered in the thousands as they virtually covered the visible
surface of the impoundment with their low, aerial acrobatics, far
outnumbering the three swallow species also seen.
Double-crested Cormorant (about 100)
Ruddy Duck (3)
American Coot (6)
Chimney Swift (thousands!)
Eastern Kingbird
Tree Swallow
Northern Rough-winged Swallow
Barn Swallow
Eastern Bluebird
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
Eastern Towhee
Field Sparrow
Chipping Sparrow
Bobolink (about 60)
Red-winged Blackbird
