Subject: Northern Parulas are back @ Harris Neck
NWR-03/20/10
From: Steve Fox <sfox01(AT)HOTMAIL.COM>
Date: 20 Mar 2010 10:10pm
Doug Thigpen and I checked out Harris Neck NWR this morning in an attempt to
view some spring migrants and any winter stragglers. A great deal of the
usual winter suspects were still sticking around and some spring
migrant/year-rounders were out singing in full force. Spring activity was
abound. The WOOD STORKS were gathering nesting material and jockeying for
the natural tree frames and the Gators were hauled out taking in the long
anticipated warm spring day.
The FOTS highlight was hearing that classic ZREE..ZREE..ZREE..ZREEIP song,
followed by the visual of a few Northern Parulas speeding about in the
canopy. They were first spotted along the woody pond trail between the main
pond and the flooded field/pond down trail. The rest of the birds spotted
today are listed below.
On a side note, my wife spotted a Swallow-tailed Kite flying over Veterans
Parkway this past Monday, spring is here!
