On Saturday, May 2, six parties conducted the Cumberland County Spring Bird 
Count and found 137 species. There were no real rarities, but Barbara 
Stedman found a Swainson's Warbler upstream from Adams Bridge on Genesis 
Road again this year. Steve Stedman found 11 Cerulean Warblers (the only 
ones on the count) along the west side of Brady Mountain on Hinch Rd (Jewett 
Rd). Several observers thought Red-headed Woodpeckers were especially 
common. They were the second most common woodpecker, with 55 recorded, 
compared to 68 Red-bellied Woodpeckers. The Whip-poor-wills were really 
calling (despite no moon and cloudy conditions), with 64 recorded. In 
contrast, only 4 Chuck-will's Widows were recorded; it's a rather uncommon 
bird at our elevation of 1700-1900 feet. Early succession clearcuts with 
pines are ideal habitat for Whip-poor-wills--I heard 27 and saw 4, but these 
were limited to this habitat.

Complete results can be found on Stephen Stedman's bird website at

Other nearby counts as they occur and previous years' counts can also be 
found at his website.
