Charlotte migration has begun



Hello ya'll.

Went to Cowans Ford Wildlife refuge today. From the overlook saw a "calico" 
phase LITTLE BLUE HERON, GREEN HERON, SPOTTED SANDPIPER. The heron caught 
about an 8 inch long catfish and chucked it down like that. Alongside the 
road just before entering the refuge, there were numerous BLUE GROSBEAKS, one 
YELLOW WARBLER, INDIGO BUNTINGS, and GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS. Then just for fun 
I stopped at Mcdowell Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, an was rewarded with 
1 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, 2 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, and 2 more SPOTTED 
SANDPIPERS. 
    So migration has begun, and for Charlotte birding, a great day.
