Hi C-birders,
The note below comes from BIRDCHAT; please address responses to the
author, Ernie Jardine <BIRDING@AOL.COM>, and not to me or Carolinabirds.
Meanwhile, have noticed some interesting things on the web archives
lately. Mostly from the Kiptopeke hawk watch in Virginia: they've had a
Gyrfalcon, two Frigatebirds, and a record number of Golden Eagles in
recent days. Keep looking up!
I commented earlier on unusual numbers of Clay-colored Sparrows along the
east coast. Now a Brewer's Sparrow has been reported in east Texas, and
possibly another in the Florida panhandle. It's a long shot, but keep it
in mind... and for sparrow novices, keep in mind that winter-plumage and
first-year Chipping Sparrows are extremely hard to distinguish from these
other two species, so don't let excitement run away with you!
Like Robin and Harry, I too have noticed many more Golden-crowned
Kinglets than Ruby-crowned here in the Piedmont. The exception was in the
Duke Gardens on Sunday, when I heard RCK's singing.
Have to run. Good birding,
Josh

Chatters,
I will be in Florence, SC during the first week of Nov. Once again I will be
attempting to mix golf and birding......a bad combination when it comes to
any meaningful birding. However, one other golfer is a serious birder, and
I'm hoping to make it to Carolina Sandhills NWR, in order to see the
Red-cockaded Woodpecker and the Brown-headed Nuthatch, both lifers that I
have managed to miss on previous "holidays" in SC. Any specific advice on
locations of the Red-cockaded would be appreciated.
Thanks, and all the best in birding,
Ernie Jardine
