White-winged Scoter - keep this in your mind's eye. The white area behind the bill is round.
Cooper's Hawk at Kure Beach
Buffy nape and rounded tail.
Harrier
Great Blue Heron
Northern Flicker at Airlie Gardens
Fox Sparrow at Airlie - my second for the year. Last year I couldn't buy one.
Cooper's Hawk - I lead a Carolina Bird Club trip for the winter meeting on Friday but found nothing special.
Winter Wren - this was the one success story from my kid's soccer tournament in Charlotte. Seen at McDowell Park.
Back home this Oriole had me thinking I had a Bullock's.
A decent eye line and white belly, but the auriculars were just not colorful enough to convince me. So Baltimore it is.
The waves were good at Wrightsville Beach Sunday evening.
Tricolor Heron
Blue-headed Vireo at Fort Fisher
Ruddy Turnstone
Northern Gannet
Red-shouldered Hawk (Corrected by Sam).
Surf Scoter - finally I found a Surf Scoter at Fort Fisher today.
The white area behind bill is more vertical and the bird sat higher up on the water than a White-winged.
It's pelagic time this weekend!
Cheers.
