Traveling
Took off before sunrise for a quick look around a few spots in Rutherford
Co. this morning.
Veterans Pkwy wet area
Redhead ducks have been replaced with Ring-necked Ducks(60). Also present
were Mallards(40), Gadwalls(24), a few Green-winged teal and American
Wigeon. Also present were about 22 Wilson snipe, probably more but I was in a
hurry and Killdeer.
Lytle Creek was a bust except for a few Am. Kestrel.
Todd Lake at Rutherford Blvd
Northern Shovelers, Gadwal, Wood Duck, and Canada Geese.
Best bird of the morning.
Female Merlin devouring a small bird she had caught two blocks from my
house. Almost past by her backed up and watched her eat the little bird like
she had not eaten in a week. Great view at about 25 feet. Could not have
cared less about me. That's my first Rutherford Co. Merlin. I was
beginning to think I was not going to find one.
Good birding everyone
