11/5/2009


The winter birds are beginning to show up, sometimes in mass quantities. At 
Paris Landing State Park two separate rafts of 800-1000 American Coots were 
present. One raft was extremely close to shore near the picnic/swimming area, 
but the other raft was a substantial distance away in the center of Kentucky 
Lake to the south side of the bridge.  

Other notable finds included:

Horned Grebes- 6
Pied-Billed Grebes -9
Bald Eagle
Several Ring-Billed Gulls
Killdeer-2
Great Blue Herons-15

Cross Creeks in Stewart County will close after sunset of November 14 and will 
re-open March 16. However, a new observation deck which was recently built 
should afford reasonably good looks from the Visitor Center at wintering 
waterfowl. Today, it produced small numbers, but included:

Ruddy Duck - 1 Lone soldier
Mallards- 4
Horned Larks-2
Goldfinches- too many to count !
RIng-billed Gulls -2
Pileated Woodpecker

Also near the new observation deck at the Cross Creeks Visitors Center there 
were numerous:

Blue Jays
Field Sparrows
Song Sparrows
Eastern Bluebirds
American Goldfinches
Cardinals
Carolina Wren
American Crows
Tufted Titmice
Carolina Chickadee
Turkey Vultures
Downy Woodpecker
2 unidentified Buteo-type raptors


Hope to see many folks in Columbia this weekend
