Alabama Rare Bird Report – Monday, August 30, 2004.
The ROSEATE SPOONBILL, discovered 8/18 at a swamp in Shelby County , continued to delight visitors through at least 8/29. From Birmingham follow I-65 south to the Alabaster/Saginaw exit (#238). Turn left (south) onto US 31 and go around 4.2 miles to a gravel road just past the Saginaw Pipe plant. Turn right and proceed past trees and a small pond to the swamp. [DeAL 37-A8]
A male MOURNING WARBLER was discovered in a mixed warbler flock 8/30 at Shell Mound Park on Dauphin Island . [DeAL 64-B3][BGtA p. 5]
Two BUFF-BREASTED and an UPLAND SANDPIPER was found 8/28 at the Woerner Turf Farm in Lowndes County west of Montgomery . To reach the sod farm from US 80, follow Co. 29 north through Lowndesboro. At 4.8 miles from US 80 turn right onto County 40 at the sign for the farm just past a 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. Remember not to drive or walk on the grass at this or any sod farm and yield right-of-way to farm and irrigation equipment. Also avoid slick, muddy roads at this site. [DeAL 44-E4&5]
At least 33 UPLAND and a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER were found 8/25 on the Woerner Turf Farm on Co. 12 west of Co. 65 in Baldwin County . [DeAL 63-H7]
A Florida pelagic trip offshore Okaloosa and Santa Rosa Counties 8/22 had tremendous success with sightings of both RED-BILLED and WHITE-TAILED TROPICBIRDS, three CORY'S SHEARWATERS, four WILSON'S and at least ten BAND-RUMPED STORM-PETRELS, and two “DARK-BACKED” (BRIDLED or SOOTY) TERNS. Most species were found around 60 n.m offshore in the vicinity of DeSoto Canyon .

In another mile or so turn left and follow the trail on the left near a cut through the forest resembling a powerline right-of-way. The crossbills were found in 0.25-0.50 mile near where the trail widens into a road. [DeAL 46-D4]
