Coddle Creek Reservoir is flooded



The area N of hwy 136 (Mooresville Hwy) is entirely flooded, and is home to
most of the waterfowl seen today - especially the NE quadrant.  The main
body of the reservoir (Lake Don T. Howell - N end)) was notably bereft of
birds.  Observed visually and heard along with the more usual suspects:

      Pied-billed Grebe
	Northern Shoveler - 12
	Green-winged Teal - 30
	Redhead - 1
	Ruddy Duck - 20
	American Coot - 40
	Eastern Phoebe - 1
	Eastern Bluebird - 6
	Brown Thrasher - 1
	Cedar Waxwing - 60
	Yellow-rumped Warbler
	Pine Warbler
	Eastern Towhee
	Chipping Sparrow
	Field Sparrow
	Fox Sparrow - 3
	White-throated Sparrow
	Dark-eyed Junco
	Eastern Meadowlark
	American Goldfinch

The passerines were noted mostly in the brush, grass, and trees at the sides
of Shimpock Rd.
