All,
Brian Pendergraft and I went to Howell Woods in Johnston Co. this
morning. Over the course of the morning we saw (among many other
species) a Kentucky warbler (briefly!) 3 Swainson's warblers (2 very
well), solitary and spotted sandpipers, about 200 (little or no
exaggeration) indigo buntings, and 5 Mississippi kites. We also caught
up with Jamie Sasser and got to see him band an indigo bunting, hooded
warbler, white-eyed vireo, and female cardinal (he released a Swainson's
warbler minutes before we caught up with him).
On the way home, an awesome morning got even better- we saw a WOOD STORK
flying towards the northwest, west of Smithfield and just south of
highway 210. WooHoo indeed!
Take care,
Clyde Sorenson
