Alabama Rare Bird Report -- Wednesday, February 28, 2001.

NOTE: Where possible, DeLorme Alabama Atlas coordinates are provided following each site description. It would be helpful if reports were accompanied by these coordinates.

I have received no additional reports of the CRESTED CARACARA since its original appearance near a house close to Magnolia Springs on 2/19. On that day the bird was seen near Baldwin Co. 12, west of AL59, around one mile west of the Co. 49/Co. 12 intersection. There are many potentially attractive spots in the area to check for this carrion-eater including the Magnolia Springs Landfill (remember: you must check-in at the office), livestock yards, farms, chicken houses, and any roadkill. Feedback, either positive or negative, on this potential first state record is highly desired. [63-H7]

Scans of Mobile Bay from the Fairhope Municipal Pier produced three RED-THROATED LOONS on 2/18 and two LONG-TAILED DUCKS on 2/19. The pier is located near the intersection of Old (scenic) US98 and Fairhope Avenue (Co. 48). [62-F5]

An immature BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE was observed 2/17 foraging with loons and gannets near Gulf Shores. The bird was located around 200 yards offshore and a mile west of the AL59 & 182 intersection. [64-F2]

An immature GOLDEN EAGLE was seen 2/18 in the Paint Rock River valley east of Gurley. Follow AL65 north from US72 for 1.5 miles and look in the vicinity of the large fields and pond. [19-E10]

Visits to Talladega NF northeast of Anniston on 2/17 & 18 produced sightings of up to 11 RED CROSSBILLS including several juveniles. This is the same location where regular sightings have been made over the last two years and breeding documented. The site to check is near Lake Coleman and is reached from the Heflin exit at I-20 by traveling 1.5 miles north on AL9 to US78. Turn right and follow US78 east for 8.5 miles to Co. 61. Turn left and follow Co. 61 (which becomes FS553 at the forest boundary) for 7.5 miles to FS500. Turn right and follow FS500 and signs for Lake Coleman for 1.5 miles to a fenced parking area on the right. If you reach the entrance to Lake Coleman you went too far. Park and hike across the road to the Pinhoti Trail crossing. Follow the trail north into a large expanse of open pine understory. Look for the crossbills anywhere in the area from the parking lot to around a mile from the paved road. Just after sunrise may be the best time to try for these birds. Several RED-COCKADED WOODPECKERS are active in this area. Also seen both days were flyover GOLDEN EAGLES: an immature on 2/17 and a adult on 2/18. [33-A8]

At Guntersville, the female COMMON MERGANSER was seen again on 2/18, with many Red-breasted Mergansers, in Browns Creek south of AL 69. Search between the recreation center and the sand beach. [25-A10]

Two ROSS'S GEESE were seen 2/19 at the Swan Creek WMA impoundment. To reach this spot go north from Calhoun College near Decatur on US 31 about one mile to a traffic signal and sign for Swan Creek. Turn left on Harris Station Road and travel west over a RR track, through a sharp right turn , and a sweeping left turn, to a dirt road on the left located just before two small bridges. Follow this road for 1.0 mile to an intersection with another dirt road. Check for the geese from the ramp on the left overlooking the diked area. [18-E4]

Four GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE were observed 2/17 at a lake near East McLean Road south of Hope Hull. [45-F7]

A visit to the Woerner Turf Farm in Lowndes County on 2/23 once again produced sightings of many sparrows including two CLAY-COLORED. Several dozen LAPLAND LONGSPURS remained with many pipits. To reach the farm, take Co. 29 through Lowndesboro from US 80. At 4.8 miles from US 80 turn right at the sign for the farm just past the RR track. In 3.0 miles the paved road becomes dirt. In another 1.5 miles you reach the farm entrance on the left at a 90-degree right turn. Most of the sparrows were present near a corral and fences reached by traveling straight (north) from the main entrance toward the high-voltage power line crossing and an old homesite with a concrete silo. The Clay-colored consistently perch on the long barbed-wire fence that ends at a small rock pile near a large dirt mound. Remember: do not drive or walk on the grass at this or any sod farm. Now that growing season is beginning, be especially aware of heavy machinery and irrigation equipment movements during your visit and obviously yield the right-of-way. [44-E4]

The following may be called for information: Birding in Alabama: Greg Jackson (205/987-2855) Alabama Ornithological Society: Larry Gardella (334/613-0690) Birmingham Audubon Society: Ann Miller (205/879-7709) Shoals Audubon Society (n.w.

Alabama Rare Bird Report -- Wednesday, February 21, 2001.

NOTE: Where possible, DeLorme Alabama Atlas coordinates are provided following each site description. It would be helpful if reports were accompanied by these coordinates.

A CRESTED CARACARA made an afternoon appearance near a house close to Magnolia Springs on Monday, 2/19. The bird was videotaped feeding on duck carrion. A review of the tape by local birders confirms the identification and an apparent absence of leg bands. The bird was not seen Tuesday but obviously may still be in the area. The bird was seen near Baldwin Co. 12 around one mile west of Co. 49. As a carrion-eater likely spots to check would be the Magnolia Springs Landfill (remember: you must check-in at the office), livestock yards, farms, chicken houses, or similar operations. Caracaras are also fond of roadkill so cruising the local roads is in order. Feedback, either positive or negative, on this potential first state record is highly desired. [63-H7]

An immature GOLDEN EAGLE was seen 2/18 in the Paint Rock River valley east of Gurley. Follow AL65 north from US72 for 1.5 miles and look in the vicinity of the large fields and pond. [19-E10]

Visits to Talladega NF northeast of Anniston on 2/17 & 18 produced sightings of up to 11 RED CROSSBILLS including several juveniles. This is the same location where regular sightings have been made over the last two years and breeding documented. The site to check is near Lake Coleman and is reached from I-20 by traveling 1.5 miles north on AL9 to US78 from the Heflin exit. Turn right and follow US78 east for 8.5 miles to Co. 61. Turn left and follow Co. 61 (which becomes FS553 at the forest boundary) for 7.5 miles to FS500. Turn right and follow FS500 and signs for Lake Coleman for 1.5 miles to a fenced parking area on the right. If you reach the entrance to Lake Coleman you went too far. Park and hike across the road to the Pinhoti Trail crossing. Follow the trail north into a large expanse of open pine understory. Look for the crossbills anywhere in the area from the parking lot to around a mile from the paved road. Just after sunrise may be the best time to try for these birds. Several RED-COCKADED WOODPECKERS are active in this area. Also seen both days were flyover GOLDEN EAGLES: an immature on 2/17 and a adult on 2/18. [33-A8]

Two swans, species unknown, were recently seen at a large pond near the intersection of the Natchez Trace Parkway and Co. 21 (North Pike Road) just south of the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama. A search of the area on 2/18 did not find the swans but they may still be in the area. [16-C4]

A GRASSHOPPER SPARROW was seen again 2/18 at Key Cave NWR west of Florence. The SHORT-EARED OWL, present for some time in this area, was last seen on 2/6 at dusk. To reach this spot go west from Florence on AL 20 towards Savannah and turn left on Lauderdale Co. 2. In 4.0 miles turn left on Co. 223 and go 1.5 miles south to Co. 204. Turn right (west) on Co. 204 and travel to the small gravel parking area on the left marked with refuge signs. Check the pond and fields in front of this area, opposite the road. [17-D6]

On 2/7 two female COMMON MERGANSERS were seen near gravel bars in the Tennessee River southeast of Waterloo. Take Co. 14 west from Florence and look for the mergansers just east of Waterloo. [16-B3]

Two ROSS'S GEESE were seen 2/19 at the Swan Creek WMA impoundment. To reach this spot go north from Calhoun College near Decatur on US 31 about one mile to a traffic signal and sign for Swan Creek. Turn left on Harris Station Road and travel west over a RR track, through a sharp right turn , and a sweeping left turn, to a dirt road on the left located just before two small bridges. Follow the dirt road for one mile to an intersection with another dirt road. Check for the geese from the ramp on the left overlooking the diked area. [18-E4]

Four GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE were observed 2/17 at a lake near East McLean Road south of Hope Hull. [45-F7]

A visit to the Woerner Turf Farm in Lowndes County on 2/18 once again produced sightings of many sparrows including CLAY-COLORED. Also found was a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW and several dozen LAPLAND LONGSPURS. In this same area a LeCONTE'S SPARROW was located on 2/9. To reach the farm, take Co. 29 through Lowndesboro from US 80. At 4.8 miles from US 80 turn right at the sign for the farm just past the RR track. In 3.0 miles the paved road becomes dirt. In another 1.5 miles you reach the farm entrance on the left at a 90-degree right turn.

Alabama Rare Bird Report -- Friday, February 9, 2001.

NOTE: Where possible, DeLorme Alabama Atlas coordinates are provided following each site description. It would be helpful if reports were accompanied by these coordinates.

Birders at the winter AOS meeting in Guntersville 1/26-28 compiled a total of 113 species. Among the highlights were continued sightings of the adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL with many gulls on the marina pilings at the south end of the US 431 bridge behind the Harbor House Restaurant. Also present at this location was an immature GLAUCOUS GULL and up to three LAUGHING GULLS. The Glaucous is presumably the same bird found on the Guntersville CBC in late December and mid-day appears to be a good time to check the pilings for an appearance. A female COMMON MERGANSER continued, with many Red-breasted Mergansers, in Browns Creek south of AL 69. Search between the recreation center and the sand beach. A PACIFIC LOON was seen again during the weekend several times from the AL 69 causeway. [25-A10; 26-A1]

Group birding trips over AOS weekend to the Jones Farm Road (a.k.a. "Hawk Farm") just northwest of Guntersville Dam resulted in several sightings of GOLDEN EAGLES and one brief view of the PRAIRIE FALCON. At least one SHORT-EARED OWL was also seen at dusk two days. Access to this gated and posted private property is restricted. Call Linda Reynolds (256/582-2970 at home or 256/582-0412 at work) for details. [19-H9&10]

A rare winter GRASSHOPPER SPARROW was seen 2/3 at Key Cave NWR west of Florence. The SHORT-EARED OWL, present for some time in this area, was seen again on 2/6 at dusk. To reach this spot go west from Florence on AL 20 towards Savannah and turn left on Lauderdale Co. 2. In 4.0 miles turn left on Co. 223 and go 1.5 miles south to Co. 204. Turn right (west) on Co. 204 and travel to the small gravel parking area on the left marked with refuge signs. The pond and fields are in front of this area opposite the road. [17-D6]

A first winter LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was noted at Wilson Dam near Florence on 2/1. [17-C7]

On 2/7 two female COMMON MERGANSERS were seen near gravel bars in the Tennessee River southeast of Waterloo. Take Co. 14 west from Florence and look for the mergansers just east of Waterloo. [16-B3]

Up to 200 SANDHILL CRANES were noted in the Beaverdam Peninsula fields east of Limestone Bay, Wheeler NWR, on 1/27. Both GREATER WHITE-FRONTED and ROSS'S GEESE were reported from this traditional location earlier in the season and may remain into early February associating with the large Snow Goose flock. [18-F5]

Several GREATER SCAUP were present 1/27 at the Decatur Boat Harbor. [18-F4]

Four SANDHILL CRANES were seen 2/3 in a stubble field south of Tallassee. The site is located west of AL 229 near a Auburn University substation. [46-C2]

On 2/9, ten species of sparrow were tallied near the Woerner Turf Farm in Lowndes County. Among these were two CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS and a LeCONTE'S SPARROW. A LINCOLN'S SPARROW was also seen 2/4 and several LAPLAND LONGSPURS were seen with many pipits. To reach the farm, take Co. 29 through Lowndesboro from US 80. At 4.8 miles from US 80 turn right at the sign for the farm just past the RR track. In 3.0 miles the paved road becomes dirt. In another 1.5 miles you reach the farm entrance on the left at a 90-degree right turn. Most of the sparrows were present near fences and a grassy field reached by traveling straight from the main entrance toward the high-tension power line crossing and an old homesite with a concrete silo. A MERLIN and two KING RAILS were also noted on the farm 2/9. Remember: do not drive or walk on the grass at this or any sod farm. [44-E4]

The LONG-TAILED DUCK continued through 1/30 at West Point Dam just across the state line in Georgia (north of Lanett, AL). [40-E4]

A LARK SPARROW was seen 2/5 near the brushy ridge behind Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island. [64-B4]
