Pea/Bodie Migrants



Greetings:
	North winds with clear skies sent me to Pea Island this a.m. to look for
migrants. Also stopped at Bodie Island woods. Even though conditions weren't
perfect, there were a few birds to be found. Here are the highlights:
	Bobolink - dozens
	Baltimore Oriole - dozens
	E.Kingbird - dozens
	A. Redstart - over a hundred, mostly in Bodie woods
	Black & White Warbler - dozens
	Prairie Warbler - several
	Golden-winged Warbler - one male at old coast guard station
	Chestnut-sided Warbler - one in the Bodie woods
	Black-throated Blue - one female
	Yellow Warbler - only one or two
	Blue Grosbeak - one
	Biting (deer) flies - thousands!

	Sure hope some of you out there will be coming down this fall to share in
the periodic fall-outs at Pea Island. Keep an eye on the weather channel,
looking for those northwest winds!
