for members of the Carolina Bird Club, Inc., ornithological society of the Carolinas
Volume 43 March/April 1997 Number 2

Upstate Meeting Update

Preparations are complete for a great
time at the CBC spring meeting in
Clemson, SC, May 25-27, 1997. A
schedule and description of field trips
appears later in this newsletter.

Our headquarters for the meeting will
be the Ramada Inn on US 123 in Clemson.
The room rate for 1-4 persons is. $44.00
plus 9% tax per night. For reservations
call the Ramada Inn at (864) 654-7501 or
use the reservation form in this newsletter.
Be sure to mention CBC to insure the
special rate.

On Friday evening Mary Bunch of the
SC Department of Natural Resources will
make a presentation on the Peregrine
Falcon hacking program at Table Rock
State Park.

The Saturday evening program will be
presented by Dr. Sid Gauthreaux a CBC
member who is well known among the
membership. Sid will be coming to us
from the field site on the Texas Gulf coast
where he and his wife Carroll are
continuing their research into bird
migration sponsored by the Department of
Defense. He will show us how this
research using NEXRAD is leading to the
detection of hazardous concentrations of
birds for pilots. Since NEXRAD is
Doppler it also shows the direction and
speed of movement of the birds. The
exciting slide presentation includes shots
of huge flights of neo-tropical migrants
arriving on the coast after the Gulf
crossing and settling into the riverine areas
to rest and feed. This information has
already proved vital in helping to protect
some riverine habitat. Sid will also show
how NEXRAD can be used by birders to
monitor migration on the internet.

There will also be a brief business

meeting prior to the program Saturday
evening. Major items to be considered are
amendments to the Bylaws and election of
officers.

The amendments proposed to the
Bylaws are:

Article X. Publications

(2) The Executive Committee shall
determine editorial policies for The Chat
and shall appoint its editor. The editor
shall serve at the discretion of the
Executive Committee. (Clarifying
amendment. There is no provision in the
current Bylaws concerning -appointment of
the editor. )

(4) The Executive Committee shall
determine editorial policies for the
Newsletter and appoint its editor. The
editor shall serve at the discretion of the
Executive Committee. (New provision.
There is no provision in the current
Bylaws concerning. appointment of the
editor. )

Backyard Birding 2

Chip Notes 3

Winter Meeting Report 4

Clemson Field Trip Schedule 5
New Members 8

With 46 feeders in my yard. I've had
experience with pretty much all the
basic types. One of the best designs I've
dealt with is a feeder I call Pullen Park,
purchased at a flea market for one dollar
from a man who was glad to get rid of it.

"Some kind of animal trap, I guess,"
was all he said. I'd made a real find for
a dollar. It is a simple yet clever design,
handmade arid squirrel-proof.

Basically it is an 18" x 16" x 8"
wooden box with dog wire on three
sides. The smaller birds can slip
through the openings in the wire, but the
squirrels cannot. Unfortunately, neither
can the larger birds, but they have plenty
of other feeders around.

The only thing wrong is that it is not
the easiest to clean (a major selling
point). If I had time-, I'd design a similar
one, replacing the solid floor with a
removable, screened tray, ask
woodworker Bob to make a prototype,
and possibly make a good little business
from it.

January 25 a Cardinal took seeds
from the thistle sock, and another
Cardinal clung to the satellite-style
feeder that is meant for Titmice and
Chickadees. Desperate acrobatics
always means the other feeders need
refilling so I headed out.

February 2 a Yellow-rumped
Warbler, the first of the season,
appeared in the front pines.

February 4, 1 got a very nice letter
from Reece Mitchell of
Hendersonville, NC, who writes,
"Backyard birding has been pretty
underwhelming here in Flat Rock this
winter. We have had average numbers
of the usual species but no irruptives. A
possible exception would be the number
of raptors. I believe I have seen more
than the usual number of Sharp-shinned
and Coopers Hawks although, since I
only see one at a time, this may not be
the case.

"I watched a Sharpie from only 15
feet as it waited for things to settle down
after it flew in to the feeder area. The
bird remained nearly motionless for
more than 40 minutes except for moving
its head. Finally a Northern Ricker
came to the suet feeder. The intensity
with which the hawk focused on the
Ricker was incredible! After that I was
a little disappointed when the Sharpie
flew almost casually toward the Ricker,

Backyard Birding

with Martha K. Brinson

which departed in haste and was not
pursued. It appeared that the hawk was
testing to see if the Flicker was catchable
or not.

"As I write this I am listening to a
Carolina Wren singing what I call his 'T-
shirt' song. During the past two winters
these wrens (probably the same birds) have
spent most nights in a hanging plant on the
back porch. Last spring they nested in the
plant, and it appears that the same thing
will happen this year.

"Our holly trees still have some berries
this year because a Mockingbird has
established a winter territory here and
keeps the Robins and other fruit eaters
away. Most of these are Fosters Holly and
are usually stripped of berries by early
January. There is one Savannah Holly
which is always loaded with berries, but
the birds do not eat them. We've been
disappointed since we do all of our
landscaping with birds in mind. Do you
know if this is characteristic of this variety
of holly?

"We are fortunate to have six species of
woodpecker visit our feeders and have
been surprised to note that the Yellow-
bellied Sapsucker is dominant over all
except the Pileated. In fact, this little guy
often 'parks' beside the suet feeder for an
hour and keeps other birds away."

So okay, gang, does anyone know why
the birds won't touch the Savannah Holly
berries? Let's give Reece and Judy an
answer.

February 6 was an impossibly beautiful
day. Sitting on the gray garden bench, I

was soon joined by Scooter's yellow lab
friend, Ginger. A Yellow-rumped Warbler
visited Pullen Park for sunflower seeds. A
Brown-headed Nuthatch inched down the
Russian Elm to take suet and ignored a
skirmish nearby between a Yellow-rumped
and a Pine Warbler. I took advantage of
the warm day to scrub and refill the
birdbath, which Ginger views as her
personal watering hole.

February 27 I went backyard birding in
Johnston County where friends and I heard
and saw Eastern Meadowlarks while we
rode horses. I don't get Meadowlarks in
my yard.

March 2, the day after a record-
breaking 85 degrees, was windy and
strange, with air both hot and cold. Skies
were blue with gray-pink clouds.
Thousands of peepers sang out from Turtle
Creek in their eerie spring frog chant, and
the only other sounds were the waking of
hundreds of birds. American Robins
waited high in the sweet gums for me to
vacate the earth-wormiest part of the yard
after I set out homemade bluebird food.
Canada Geese flew directly overhead with
their honk lwnk honk honk springtime
duet.

By the way, since no one has sent in any
figures to top Merrill Lynch's challenge
of 139 yardbirds in less than 2 years,
Merrill is unofficially declared CBC
Yardbird Count. Champion for 1996.

Who'll take the crown in 1997?

Would like to hear about backyard
birding from someone in piedmont or
western sections of South Carolina as well
as other areas. Send me a fax if it is easier
(919) 362-4724, or write to me and let me
know about the birds in your backyard.

House Finch Disease Survey

Backyard birders interested in the
results of the House Finch Disease Survey
conducted by the Cornell Laboratory of
Ornithology can see a summary report on
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention Web site: www.cdc.gov/
ncidod/EID/vol3nol/fischer2.htm. The
spread of the disease from House Finches
to American Goldfinches is documented.

Volunteers Needed

Volunteers are needed for the North
Carolina Breeding Bird Survey. About 15
of the 75 BBS routes in NC currently are
open. Many of these are in the western
Piedmont, but a few that have never been
run are scattered in the eastern Piedmont
and Coastal Plain. If you are interested in
running a route in late May or June, let me
know.

T-Shirt Contest

The members attending the winter
meeting at Atlantic Beach who voted in
the T-Shirt/Cap logo contest chose to keep
the Chat we had on our recent white CBC
T-shirts. Therefore, we will try to have
this logo redrawn to work on a color
background. They may be available at the
spring meeting in Clemson, SC.

FENCE Ventures

An e-mail flash just in from Simon
Thompson recommends several FENCE
(Foothill Equestrian Nature Center)
Ventures for CBC members. He will be
birding the wetlands of East Anglia and
the moors, seacliffs of Yorkshire, England
May26-June9. The Highlands and
islands of Scotland are scheduled for June
1 1-24 and the rugged coastal paths and
valleys of Devon and Cornwall October 7-
20. CBC member, Roger McNeill is

leading a FENCE trip to Trinidad and
Tobago November 8-18. Cost is $ 1995
from Miami.

Sanctuary Clean-up Day
Canceled

The work day and tour at the CBC
sanctuary property in Tryon, NC, set for
February 15 was canceled due to two
inches of ice and snow.

The organizer, John Huggins,

Executive Committee Meinber-at-Large
(WNC), has indicated that he will try to
reschedule and post the new date on
Carolinabirds. If you are not a subscriber
to Carolinabirds, contact John at (704) 877-
3843 for more information.

Request for Barn Owl
Sightings

This spring and summer I will be
investigating the survivorship, dispersal,
and diet of captive-raised (orphans brought
to the Carolina Raptor Center) and wild-
fledged Barn Owls using radiotelemetry,
presently, I am locating active Barn Owl
nests in ten counties surrounding
Charlotte, NC, and I could use your help.

If you know of an active Barn Owl nest or
have recently seen a Bam Owl in the NC
counties of Cabarrus, Catawbna,
Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln,
Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanley or Union,
please contact me at: Marek Smith, c/o
Carolina Raptor Center, PO Box 16443,
Charlotte, NC 28297 or by e-mail at;
maresmith@unccvm.uncc.edu. Thanks
for your assistance. Marek Smith,
graduate student, UNC-Charlotte.

Mettamuskeet

I saw fully a thousand whistling swans
Like puffs of meringue on a big pond,
Running, then rising to meet the sunset,
While turning to red like the fire of a jet.
Then circling, then settling, then coming to
rest.

Then the golden moon with a piece of
twine

catching lovers with its silver line.

I’ll never forget that wonderful prank.

That occurred we went to the Outer Banks.

CBC Rare Bird Alert
(704) 332-BIRD

Atlantic Beach in Winter

After a long absence, Wayne and Fran Irwin were happy to be at the CBC meeting in
Atlantic Beach after retiring and moving to Southern Pines, NC. Fran is a former CBC
headquarters secretary.

A Variety of Birds Seen

The most controversial bird seen at the
winter meeting was eider off 10th street in
Morehead City. Thought to be a King
Eider on Saturday, better looks on Sunday
turned it into a female Common Eider.
Harry LeGrand reported that the barring
on the underparts could be seen when the
bird was out of the water on a sandbar thus
seperating it from the female King Eider
which has a chevron pattern.

A cooperative group of Piping Plovers
and a single Wilson’s plover remained in
place on Bird Shoal for several parties on
Friday and Saturday to enjoy. A Peregrine
Falcon was also seen in this area.

Nine Snow Buntings were seen at the
dredge spoil pond along the Beaufort-
Morehead City causeway on Sunday.

Eared Grebes were seen at the
Goldsboro sewage treatment plant on the
way to the meeting, and Todd and
Catherine Plummer reported an Anhinga
flying overhead when they stopped for gas
in Kinston on the way home after the
meeting. George and Judy Halleron
visited Mattamuskeet NWR after the
meeting and saw a Cattle Egret.

Mixed Reaction to Winter
Meeting

Harry LeGrand called it “the dullest
winter CBC meeting I have ever
attended.” Perhaps Harry is getting a little
jaded, because many of the 217 other
birders gathered at the Sheraton Resort in
Atlantic Beach, NC had a great time.

A cold front moving through the area
Friday night left the ocean too rough for
the pelagic trip to go on Saturday
frustrating those who had signed up, but
ever resourceful John Fussed arranged for
additional field trips to accomodate them.

The program Friday evening by Keith
Rittmaster of the NC Maritime Museum
on whales and dolphins off the NC coast
was well received by the room full of
birders. TV personality and wildlife
biologist Kelly Davis’ video tour of
“Wildlife and Wild Places in North
Carolina” was colorful and entertaining.

John and Becky Huggins ofPisgah Forest, NC, take a walk on the Sheraton Resort
“birding ” pier. Common and Red-throated Loons were easily seen for comparison.

The question “how much forest does a
forest bird need?” is almost as difficult to
answer as ‘.‘how much wood could a
woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could
chuck wood?” Though the first question
is very basic, it's not so simple to answer,
particularly when you’re considering
multiple species in different geographic
regions. To address this question and
many others, the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology, in cooperation with Partners
in Flight, has designed a new citizen-
science project called Birds in Forested

Birds in Forested
Landscapes

Landscapes (BFL). The project was field
tested during the 1996 breeding season
and will be open to volunteer birders
throughout North America this year.

The initial goal of BFL is to determine
how forest fragmentation and land-use
influence the presence and nesting success
of seven species of North American forest'
thrushes: Veery, Gray-cheeked Thrush,

Swainson’s Thrush, Hermit Thrush,
Bicknell’s Thrush, Varied Thrush, and
Wood Thrush-and two forest raptors:
Cooper’s Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk.

By becoming part of the BFL team, you
will further your knowledge of bird
identification and avian ecology,
participate in scientific research, and help
protect forest birds and their habitat
throughout North America. There is no
charge for participation.
