FORT MACON SPRING WALK

4/27/2015

0 Comments

 
The days have been cool and grey this past week and Saturday was no exception, so as I approached the Coues Trail at Fort Macon, I was not optimistic about photographing birds or even seeing much action. At 50 degrees, it felt downright cold! But there were quite a few birds around including the early arrival of the Painted Bunting which I only saw around the feeders. I was intrigued by a bathing Boat-tailed Grackle and a Solitary Sandpiper. Saw my first White-breasted nuthatch there and both of our red head woodpeckers. A treat was a large Swamp Rabbit.feeding on fresh growth around the pond, probably out during the day because it was so cloudy and dark. Met a fellow birder around the pond and he had a list of 29 species he had seen that morning--and trying to get number 30. So, as usual, the birding was good--and lunch later at the Sanitary Restaurant in Morehead City was super!! Hope you enjoy the pics below.
