Jeff,
We decided to go to the CBBT on the 25th because it was a better date
for us
than Feb. 1.
We were a party of four: Peggy Eubanks, Bob Burrell, Neal and me. The
weather was the best we'd ever had there: sunshine, very little wind,
no
snow or ice on driving surfaces.
Although we had a foot of snow here in Buxton, and the roads are still
packed
with thick stuff in shady places, the highway was clear north of
Rodanthe.
Gulls were in short supply at CBBT. Their perching places, the
boulders,
with the exception of those closest to the water, were covered with
thick
snow and ice. We were thrilled to find rafts and rafts of ducks.
I'm going to list our birds and I would appreciate it if you would send
the
list to carolinabirds.
My computer does not work well with c'birds and I don't know how to
adjust it.
