Hello, this is an April 8 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 (REEVE)
COMMON MURRE
A REEVE is being seen in Jasper County, South Carolina. The site is
beside US-17 just across the river from Savannah, Ga. Look in the
public marsh just north of the northwest corner of the Savannah Spoil
Site. The bird has been seen since April 6, and was seen today April 8
by multiple birders. If the bird is not in the roadside pool, wait for
a while. There are a couple of marsh openings closeby that the
shorebirds use periodically. Fo a map of the REEVE'S location, go to

A COMMON MURRE was found beached at Emerald Isle, NC and taken to a
rehabilitator on April 2. Alcids often linger well into April in
Carolinas waters after an active flight year. Birders along both
Carolina's coasts should continue to check coastal waters for
razorbills, murres, and dovekies. This report of COMMON MURRE is only
the second record for North Carolina.
Thanks to Nathan Dias and John Fussell for their reports.
