Southern Lake Norman CBC results



Birders,
The Southern Lake Norman CBC was held on Dec.15, 2002. A total of 94 species 
was observed with highlights being 2 COMMON MERGANSERS at the McGuire thermal 
ponds, 2 EARED GREBES on Lake Norman, 1 COMMON YELLOWTHROAT (long overdue for 
this count) at Cowan's Ford Refuge. Waterfowl were in low numbers and winter 
finches almost totally absent. ( 1 purple finch reported). Consistent with 
widespread trends were 0 northern bobwhites and a new high for wild turkey 
with 20. Special thanks to David and Marsha Wright for the use of their boat 
to cover the lake and for the use of their home for the tally-up supper.
