Subject: Black-throated Green Warbler
From: "Paul C. Hart" <Paul.Hart(AT)ncmail.net>
Date: 26 May 2006 6:50am
On May 25th at about 10:30 am, I heard a singing male Black-throated
Green Warbler along the Campbell Creek Trail in Raven Rock State Park.
The location is in the exact same spot where I heard a singing male on
May 17th. The bird was singing constantly, such as a territorial male
would do. I suspect it is the same bird that I heard on the 17th. The
habitat is along a creek with hardwoods such as American Beech, Red
Maple, and various oaks. There is Mountain Laurel in the understory.
This habitat is similar to that where one might find the BTG Warbler
breeding in the North Carolina mountains. However, I would not expect
breeding success in Harnett County, NC, which is located where Piedmont,
Coastal Plain and Sandhills come together. This bird's Global
Positioning System must be malfunctioning.
Best Regards,
Paul Hart

Sorry to say, the Mourning Warbler present for the last 3 days in Greensboro
was not found today, May 26, despite several hours of searching by about a
dozen birders.

Hello, this is a May 26 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:
MOURNING WARBLER
BLACK RAIL
ROSEATE SPOONBILL
WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO
CANADA WARBLER
BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS
A male MOURNING WARBLER has been present in Greensboro, NC since May 23 at
Hamilton Lakes Park. From the small parking area on Madison Ave. take the loop
trail counterclockwise down the hill, then turn right to cross a stream.
Listen for the bird singing 200-400 yards down the trail.
Good birds at the Santee Coastal Reserve in McClellanville SC on May 21
include a BLACK RAIL, ROSEATE SPOONBILLS, and four WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS. the
best times to look for birds at the Reserve are on weekdays when gates are open
for easier access.
Late migrants are still pushing through the Carolinas. On May 22 a
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO and a CANADA WARBLER were at Cedar Island NWR (NC) refuge
headquarters in Carteret County. In Mecklenburg County, (NC) on May 22
BLACK-BILLED
CUCKOO, OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, and MOURNING WARBLER were all seen.
Eleven BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS were on private land in Beaufort
County, NC on May 16. The birds have moved on, but reports of this species are
increasing in NC; and the species is established as a breeder in South
Carolina.
Thanks this to Frank Renfrow, Frank Beard, Nathan Dias, John Fussell, Alan
Meijer for their calls and reports.

Subject: Black Vulture nest at Falls Lake
From: "birdranger" <cbockhahn4(AT)earthlink.net>
Date: 26 May 2006 8:44pm
I was searching for a long lost stand of Hemlock trees at the BW Wells park
and found an old building with a Black Vulture and two young. The walls had
crumbled and only the roof remained like an A-frame. I held me nose as I
reached in for a photograph of the young, they were all white and downy and
hissing madly. Never found the hemlocks.

Subject: Frigatebird at Buxton, NC
From: Will Cook <cwcook(AT)duke.edu>
Date: 26 May 2006 9:40pm
Jeff Pippen called from Buxton to report that an immature Magnificent
Frigatebird has been hanging around on the beach for a few days (near
where Lex Glover's staying in a beach house).
Directions: Coming south into Buxton, turn left on Oramar Dr., near the
Red Drum. The road turns left and ends at the beach, where the
frigatebird's been seen.
Jeff also mentioned that today's pelagic trip was weather out, but
yesterday's produced two Herald Petrels and a pod of Sperm Whales.
