Hello, this is a March 24 update of the Carolina Rare Bird Alert featuring birding news from North and South Carolina sponsored by the Carolina Bird Club. Highlights on this report include:
RUFF
REDDISH EGRET
AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS
CAVE SWALLOWS
A RUFF was present at Bull's Island, SC on March 18. Look in the temporarily drained Jack's Creek impoundment for the RUFF and other shorebirds. Other interesting birds at Bull's Island were 28 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS, and an adult REDDISH EGRET.
47 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS were at Lake Mattamuskeet in NC on March 15. This is an exceptionally large number of the species for North Carolina.
A few CAVE SWALLOWS are still being seen at Huntington Beach SP in South Carolina. Look along the causeway at the park.
Thanks this week to Jimmy Dodson, David Disher, Susan Disher, and Nathan Dias for their calls and reports. Some of this information was gleaned from Carolinabirds.
