Hello, this is an April 13 update of the Carolina Rare Bird Alert
featuring birding news from North and South Carolina sponsored by the
Carolina Bird Club. Highlights on this report include:
SNOWY PLOVER
GLAUCOUS GULL
BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING- DUCK
AM. WHITE PELICANS
A SNOWY PLOVER is being seen at the north end of Wrightsville Beach, NC
at the Mason Inlet Waterbird Management Area. The SNOWY PLOVER is
associating with up to eight PIPING PLOVERS. The area is a restricted
access area, so birders are asked to respect the posted areas. The
plover is able to be seen without crossing over into roped off areas.
A GLAUCOUS GULL was seen April 10 in the area of the Bluewater
Restaurant at Wrightsville Beach.
BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS and AM. WHITE PELICANS can be seen at
Donnelly WMA in South Carolina. The pelicans have been seen at
Fishburne Pond, and the ducks have been near the Savage Backwater and a
freshwater slough that runs from the backwater.
Thanks this week to Nathan Dias, Robin Wood, Helen Iwanik, Jeff Lewis,
John Fussell, and David Chaffin for their calls and reports.
