Saturday a group of Chapel Hill area birders (Shelley Theye, Lee Van
Malssen, Patsy Bailey and myself) went to admire the Remaley's
Black-headed Grosbeak, and continued on for some fruitless Dovekie
searching at the coast. The most interesting sighting there was a dead
57-ft Fin Whale on the beach at milepost 5 in Kitty Hawk.
On the return trip we found some rain-flooded fields along US64 in
eastern Tyrell Co that were covered with a few thousand puddle ducks,
predominantly Northern Pintails. Most notable was a single male
Eurasian Wigeon, seen very well not far from the road, on the south side.
