Hello Everyone,
Just a reminder about this weekend's field trip to Brickhouse Road. On
this past Sunday, Norm Budnitz, Patsy Bailey, and I got 80 species there
(between 5:30 and 12:30) for the Durham Spring Count. Highlights
included least bittern, marsh wren, black-throated blue, black-throated
green, prothonatary, and black & white warblers, summer tanager, turkey,
and white-crowned sparrows.
Do join me Saturday morning - details below.
Saturday, May 5, 2001, 8:00 a.m.
Spring Birds at
Brickhouse Road. Join New Hope
Audubon for a
walk at one of the best natural
areas in the
Triangle--the Brickhouse Road area
of the Butner
gamelands north of Durham. Meet at
the Northgate
Mall parking lot, in front of
Talbot's, at 8:00 a.m. and
we will carpool to the site.
Brickhouse Road is a great
location for birds and butterflies.
This should be a good
time for migrant warblers as well
as breeding resident
birds, such as Red-headed
Woodpecker. Leader: Carol
Williamson. Bring binoculars, field
guides, a hat for sun,
and hiking shoes, plus bug spray,
water, and a snack if
desired. The trip should last about
four hours, with quite
a bit of walking on easy trails.
