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!
