Alabama Rare Bird Report – Saturday, September 16, 2006.
Up to 30 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS have been seen in recent days at the Sunbelt Sod Farm in Shelby County. To reach the farm from US 280 in Harpersville, turn south on AL 25 and travel 4.7 miles to the farm on the left. Remember not to drive or walk on the grass at this or any sod farm. DO NOT drive on wet, muddy roads at this site. Remember there are now gates on all entrance roads and these are only be open during farm working hours – typically weekdays. Birders are still welcome to enter through open gates and bird but must leave prior to gate closure in late afternoon to avoid being locked-in! DO NOT TRESPASS ONTO THIS PRIVATE PROPERTY WHEN THE GATES ARE CLOSED! In addition, birding group size must be limited to three cars! Please follow these guidelines to the letter to avoid all of us losing access to this good birding site. [DeAL 31-H9][BGtA p. 164]
A FRANKLIN’S GULL was seen 9/13 above Wilson Dam near Florence. [DeAL 17-C7][BGtA p. 213] A morning walk at the nearby TVA Wetlands trail 9/15 produced a nice collection of migrants including “TRAIL’S” and YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. To reach this location from AL 43, turn right on in front of the state trooper’s office onto Reservation Road at the sign for Wilson Dam. In about 1.0 mile, turn at the second right toward the IFDC (or complex F) buildings and then right again in front of the wetlands lab. Park in the lot and walk the abandoned road behind the gate to the right past the wetlands and into the wooded area. The trail runs for around 0.5 miles to the old greenhouse area. [DeAL 17-D7]
The world-famous Hummer/Bird Study Group will be banding at Ft. Morgan October 7-20. Visitors are welcome!
