At Fort Macon last week, it was interesting to see so many Great Crested Flycatchers. I know I saw at least 10 different ones in about an hour and a half. Perhaps they were migrating, but I have never seen them as dense as this. The Guli’sGulis, as referred to by the Cherokee Indians, was strongly appealed to by the Indians to “join”(lend their spirit) them in a ball game they played, because of the great ability of the bird to dodge, a great advantage in the game. There were so many Guli’s Gulis at the Fort, I think they were looking for a game.
I saw only a few other birds, but was fortunate to see a Painted Bunting around the feeders. The staff are not yet feeding them and it appears unclear whether they will since the Ranger who was primarily interested in the birds there has gone to another job. See pics below---
