In addition to chickadees, both nuthatches, downy woodpeckers, modos, and
purple finch I've had a barred owl sitting above one of my feeders for most
of the morning. He/she seems to be snoozing right now. Great way to keep the
squirrels at bay!

Since Maeve got such a great response to her spring migration birding
question, I thought I'd see if any of you know what I might expect to see
in the Hilton Head, South Carolina area in the second week of April. We
are heading that way to visit friends and I definitely want to do some
birding as well.

Be sure to hit the Savannah Refuge, just north (in South Carolina) of
Savannah, Georgia. The wildlife drive takes you through extensive marshland
with pools and also through several hammocks that can be great for land
birds. This is one of our favorite birding spots, though I don't think we've
been there quite as early as the second week of April. We may be there
ourselves about that time or a bit later. Frederick Pratt.

Note I originally sent this 1/21/02, but didn't see it come through the =
hotline, so I'm resubmitting this. This is a trip list from birding on =
Route 22, in New York from North Petersburg to Fort Edward, New York on =
Saturday 1/19/02. Awhile ago, people did mention that they were =
interested in surrounding areas, so although this is outside of VT I =
thought I'd post it. You often see Rough-legged Hawks. In the past, =
this has been a great area for Snowy owl, Short-eared Owl and =
occasionally Northern Hawk-owl. There haven't been any owls sighted =
this year.
We had 7 Rough-leggeds, 5 light phase and 2 dark phase. They were =
beautiful to watch. I hadn't seen any in awhile, and they fly so =
slowly, but gracefully. We didn't see any until we reached nearly Ft. =
Edward, even though we were on secondary roads. We saw 2 Kestrels, =
about 25 Red tails and 1 Sharp-shinned for hawks. There's not a lot of =
snow cover up there, a bit more south of Ft. Edward. The temps were =
14-20. For waterfowl we had Canada geese, Black duck, Mallards, Common =
Goldeneye, Hooded and Common Mergs, and a few Bufflehead. Other birds =
of note were Evening Grosbeak, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Bluebirds, Snow =
Bunting, Horned Lark, flocks of Common Redpoll and Red-winged =
Blackbirds. There was a field of unharvested corn and in it were the =
blackbirds, downy woodpecker, blue jay, tons of mourning doves, crows, =
which was interesting to see. We got 37 sp for the day. =20
We did run into 2 men banding Red tails that were from Schenectady. =
They were obviously very experienced and we watched them band a 3rd year =
male. It was great to see close up. They had a white trap with 2 brown =
mice in it and plastic nooses out of white plastic on top of the trap. =20

Thank you to Betty and Marvin for their responses and help. Contrary to =
what you may think I am happy to hear that others have had good luck at =
that site and will definitely plan another visit in the near future. =
Special thanks to Betty for taking the time to give me her route through =
the area. I'll use that when I go back and it will make it easier for =
me to find my way. I also hope to get up to Sandbar this winter before =
the Snowy leaves for parts north - never have seen one and would love =
to. =20
