if itÕs of interest to someone, a work colleague tells me she has seen an
adult B.Eagle hanging out around Quail Roost off Roxboro Rd. in Durham the
last week (she assures me itÕs not an Osprey). Take the paved rd. into Quail
Roost, Ôtil it becomes a dirt rd., and then comes to a pond on the right;
beyond the pond is a field, and beyond the field some woods where the bird
has flown out from ( I think this is private property, but she says anyone
can go back there and hike around).
At midweek had around 1600 Swifts in downtown Chapel Hill split between
two sites but by weekend number seemed down under 700. Amazingly, out of
dozens of chimneys in downtown area the small, short one behind Cosmic
Cantina on FranklinSt. which is topped with a brick archway and partially
impeded by a roof antenna remains the favorite. What are those little
twitterers thinking !???
