Alabama Rare Bird Report – Tuesday, September 26, 2006.
Two WHITE-FACED and one GLOSSY IBIS were found 9/20 at Eufaula NWR. These
waders were located in a flooded field reached by taking the second left off the
summer car route (first turn after road to the Upland Waterfowl platform).
After making the turn, look in the area on the left. A GLOSSY was relocated
9/23 but the White-faced were not seen. [DeAL 54-B5][BGtA p. 84]
18 species of warbler including CONNECTICUT were seen 9/20 at Ft. Morgan,
mostly around in middle ground area. [DeAL 64-B4][BGtA p. 23]
3-4 OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS were seen 9/16 in the “bowl” at the Shell Mound
Park on Dauphin Island. One OLIVE-SIDED was refound 9/23. Migrant activity
there has been very good in recent days. [DeAL 64-B3][BGtA p.10]
A calling YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER was present 9/23 at the Birmingham
Botanical Garden. [DeAL 31-E6][BGtA p. 170]
An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was found 9/24 at the Irondale Furnace Park in
Mountain Brook. [DeAL 31-E7]
A first winter FRANKLIN’S GULL was seen 9/24 on the pilings at the south end
of the US 431 bridge just north of downtown Guntersville. [DeAL 26-A1][BGtA
p. 258]
The world-famous Hummer/Bird Study Group will be banding at Ft. Morgan
October 7-20. Visitors are welcome! Please note: this banding operation 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 October 13-15.
The following may be called for information:
Alabama Ornithological Society: Stan Hamilton (205/951-5630)
Alabama Wildlife Rehabilitation Center hotline: (205/621-3333)
Please leave messages about new birds and feedback on reported species after
the tone. Sighting information, and requests for regular email transcripts,
can be submitted by email to:
