Have been seeing a few new winter arrivals in Durham, North Carolina:
1-Northern Juncos Friday 11/9/01 at Durham Tech's Northern Durham
Center, near Treyburn. I may have seen some earlier in the year, but
these were the first at that site, where there is usually a flock
resident on the grounds all winter.
2-Four Hooded Mergansers were at Parkwood Lake, southern Durham
County, on Sunday 11/11/01. This lake is usually big enough to
attract a small flock of Ring-necked ducks and/or Ruddies, that often
stay most of the winter. No sign of them yet, however.
3-A lone Red-breasted Nuthatch was again at my feeder in the Parkwood
neighborhood, southern Durham County, on 11/11. This bird was first
seen on 11/8.
