Just some random pics from the past week or so. Here are a bunch from Wrightsville Beach.
Common Terns still around. This one almost looked like an Arctic, but it wasn't.
Forster's Tern
Caspian
Black Skimmers
I counted over 100 Great Egrets, this was just one shot straight ahead, but to the left and right they were all over. I should have taken a panoramic with my phone.
Common Tern
They were flagging in eBird.
Great Black-backed Gull
Black-bellied Plover
Piping Plover
Semi
Last Saturday I went to Shackleford Banks hoping for Long-billed Curlew or a rare godwit, and all I had to show for it....
Clapper Rail - sometimes I wonder why I drive all over looking for birds when I know very well that I can dip hard and many times I do.
Northern Pintails at Ashley School ponds - I loved the fall colors in this one. A keeper.
Field Sparrow from Prairie Ridge Ecostation - my son had a soccer tourney in Cary and we stopped here for an hour. I had a Lincoln's Sparrow too but photos were no good.
Vesper Sparrow courtesy of Sam C who called and let me know where it was.
So all that and the only year tic was a Vesper for New Hanover....
