Hello all,

Here are a few highlights of birds seen at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center over the last week or so.

American Woodcock: 8-10 displaying along Marben Farms Road. A good place to look would be the Multi-use trail parking lot around 6PM. The Annotated Checklist states the highest count is 16 birds on Piedmont NWR/Rum Creek WMA in December of 1992. Since there is a lot more similar habitat on Charlie Elliott that we didn't explore a few nights back, my guess is a concerted effort could turn up more than 16 birds. Maybe tonight...

Red-tailed Hawk 4 Red-shouldered Hawk 4 Coopers Hawk 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 Northern harrier 2 American Kestrel 1 Barn Owl 1 Lesser Scaup 1 Pied-billed Grebe 2 Loggerhead Shrike 1 White-crowned Sparrow 5+ Vesper Sparrow 30+ Fox sparrow 7 American Pipit 8
