Alabama Rare Bird Report – Monday, April 10, 2006.
A probable male TOWNSEND’S WARBLER was discovered 4/8 in the Audubon
Sanctuary on Dauphin Island. This distinctive bird was observed for around 5 minutes
before it drifted north with an active migrant flock. The location was along
the trail between the D.I. campground and the sanctuary banding area.
Subsequent searches have so far failed to relocate this potential 1st state record.
A probable CAVE SWALLOW was seen with Cliffs on the island 4/7. [DeAL
64-B3&4][BGtA p. 6-12]
A CAVE SWALLOW was banded 4/8 at Ft. Morgan by the Hummer/Bird Study Group.
[DeAL 64-B4][BGtA p. 23] Banding operations will continue through April 15.
All visitors are welcome! Please note: this banding effort takes place on
fort property so expect to pay the standard fort entrance fee. In the interest
of maintaining a positive birder image with those administrating the fort,
PLEASE be sure you pay your way!!!
The next meeting of the Alabama Ornithological Society will be held on
Dauphin Island April 21-23.
The following may be called for information:
