Alabama Rare Bird Report – Tuesday, November 1, 2005.
A WESTERN KINGBIRD continued 10/22 at Ft. Morgan and an ASH-THROATED
FLYCATCHER was seen repeatedly through at least 10/19. A BELL’S VIREO was banded
in
the stable area 10/16 and a second unbanded Bell’s was seen later that day
nearby. The Hummer/Bird Study Group field work ended 10/22 with over 1,900
individual birds banded comprising at least 74 species. [DeAL 64-B4][BGtA p. 23]
A female BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK was discovered 10/29 near the Albright Drive
intersection with Alvarado Street on Dauphin Island. Albright is the first
residential road north when traveling west on Bienville from the ferry landing.
From Bienville, turn north on Albright (no street sign) and go 0.25 to the
second street on the left. This is Alvarado Street and there is no street sign
here either. The grosbeak frequented the pines in the area and moved around
quite a bit. At times it was observed flycatching from the pine tops. [DeAL
64-B4][BGtA p. 8]
