Subject: King Eider Watch - Winter 2009-10
From: Mark McShane <eagleeyed(AT)BELLSOUTH.NET>
Date: 22 Dec 2009 5:07pm
Hi All,
This fall and winter may be one of the biggest irruptions of eider into
the coastal southeast in a long time! Common Eiders have been reported
from both North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and
regularly/weekly from the Carolinas!
A King Eider has now been reported as seen this past Sunday near Fort
Macon State Park in North Carolina! I would venture to say that it may
even be likely that there may be King Eiders wintering in Georgia waters
this season! The trick of course is finding them.
So, if you are out sea/eider-watching this season keep a careful eye
peeled around all of our coastal beaches, jetties, piers, docks, marinas,
inlets, and sounds, etc., for eider species! Also, female King and Common
Eiders can look very similar, especially at a distance.
Good Birding All!
Mark

Subject: Crested Caracara Report - I-75 near Turner/Tift
county line, near mile marker 73 - 12/22/09
From: Mark McShane <eagleeyed(AT)BELLSOUTH.NET>
Date: 22 Dec 2009 5:28pm
Hi All,
Sue Aughey just arrived in Florida from Georgia and called with a report
of a Crested Caracara she saw today while driving south on I-75 through
south Georgia!
Sue has lived in Charlotte County Florida and has seen Crested Caracaras
for the past 25 years, and she is very sure she saw a Crested Caracara in
south Georgia today and requested a post!
Sue was southbound on I-75 between exits 75 and 71 (Willis Still Road),
near the Turner/Tift county line when she spotted the bird on the west
side of the highway standing on a post! Sue said it was near mile marker
73!
Good Birding All!
