On February 28, David Raines, Don Carrier, and I birded the Carbo area of
Russell County. Tom Hunter joined us after lunch. The beautiful weather and
cooperative birds made for an excellent day in the field. Raptors and sparrows
were particularly active. We had 8 raptor species including both vultures,
Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks, a Golden
Eagle, and an American Kestrel. Members of the sparrow family were American
Tree, Chipping, Field, Song, White-throated, White-crowned, Dark-eyed Junco,
and Eastern Towhee. We also found five of the seven likely woodpeckers missing
the Red-headed and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. The Great Blue Heron rookery
below the power plant was active with five birds seen on nests and several more
flying around in the vicinity.
The complete list of species is below.
