Outer Ba;nks birds



Just returned from 6 days in Outer Banks, mostly Pea
Island & Bodie Island. Highlights:

Bodie Island: two great horned owls, one on each side
of marked, numbered trail that you enter from the
gravel road that fishermen take to the sound.(The
entrance to the gravel road is just off the paved,
entry circle to the Lighthouse Visitor parking lot.
Near marker No. 3 on the nature trail, there is a
mostly-dead pine forest. About 4pm we heard the owls
clearly hooting there and had excellent, sustained
looks in great light.

Bodie: marsh and sedge wrens
        peregrine falcon
        American bittern
        white-crowned sparrow

Pea Island: Merlin hunting yellow-rumped warblers back
and forth across the old road to the old Coast Guard
Station.

Peregrine falcon
American bittern
white-rumped sandpiper (1)
Pectoral sandpipers (4)
sedge wren
Caspian terns
