Hi friends,
Our first rain early this morning in probably a month
or more (my mailbox was even wilted) and my first Lark
Sparrow of the season feeding in the road in front of
my house!

Subject: Mark your calendar -- Sept 7 -- Program by a searcher for
the Ivory Bill Woordpecker- special place for this meeting
only
From: "Louise Barden" <louise(AT)lbarden.com>
Date: 30 Aug 2006 8:14am
Don't forget to mark your calendar for next Thursday -- for the Mecklenburg
Audubon Society special program.
Dr. Robert Fulton will recount his adventures this spring as he looked for
the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in South Carolina and Arkansas.
Next Thursday - September 7 at 7:30 PM
SPECIAL MEETING PLACE
William R. Davie Conference Center
4635 Pineville-Matthews Road
Don't miss it and be sure to bring friends. This is going to be a really
interesting evening. Dr. Fulton (known as "the River Geezer") is known as an
entertaining and informative speaker. He participated in both of the
official searches for the woodpecker this spring with a group of selected
other searchers, led by Cornell's experts.
For directions and more information.
See Search for the Holy Grail Bird
at www.meckbirds.org
As always we will have refreshments, cold drinks and shade-grown coffee.
Paper cups will be there, but if you bring your own mug, you can help
prevent waste.

Subject: Falls L shorebirds, Inland Ibis
From: David Lenat <lenatbks(AT)mindspring.com>
Date: 30 Aug 2006 3:16pm
Visited the Stedman Sod Farm yesterday in scorching heat. It was very
dry (no pools), although still with good numbers of Pectoral SP and a
few Least SP. The surprise was a flock (35-40) of White Ibis, all
immature. I'm hoping for heavy rains in this area soon!
With the forecasted rains tomorrow, it seems that the mud flats may be
lost at Falls Lake. Since this might be my last chance for a while, I
hauled put the kajak and visited the area above I-85. Most of the
shorebirds were found on a single mud flat, not too far upstream of
I-85. Although there were many muddy areas along the shoreline, this
region did not attract shorebirds.
The lone mud flat did not produce anything too exciting, but it had
reasonable diversity:
Killdear - many throughout lake
Pectoral SP - about 30
Least SP - about 30
Semipalmated SP - About 20
Western SP - 1
Semipalmated Plover - 4
Short-billed Dowitcher - 1
Lesser Yellowlegs - 2

Subject: Hatteras pelagic trip/motels
From: lois(AT)duke.edu
Date: 30 Aug 2006 8:27pm
If anyone is wondering what to do this weekend, not only is Brian running
a trip from Hatteras on Sunday (space is available), but there are
actually motel rooms available too. I just reserved a room at the Cape
Pines motel, so don't let the thought that tourists have overwhelmed
accomodations stop you. With Eduardo possibly bringing warm water birds
from the south, I can't imagine anything more fun than being at sea and
watching shearwaters, petrels, and storm petrels!
If anyone else from Durham wants to come along, I'm leaving sometime on
Saturday and returning Monday afternoon or evening. Give me a call if you
want to come.
