Migration
Workshop in Jackson Park, Hendersonville, NC
20
October 2007
Normally we run our
October Jackson Park day-trip a little earlier in the fall, but this year we
decided to try and catch the cross-over between the last of the summer migrants
and the arrival of some of the winter species. With an overnight front passing
through the night before our Venture, we certainly hit the jackpot with migrants
all over the park. Our 12 warbler total was excellent and included Nashville,
Orange-crowned and Bay-breasted, all of which can be a little troublesome to
see. Other highlights were 3 species of vireo with a single quite late
Philadelphia Vireo and 2 Blue-headed Vireos heralding the late fall migration.
Other incoming winter arrivals were Brown Creeper, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and
Winter Wren. A Red-breasted Nuthatch that was seen by some of us was part of the
fall influx that is happening this year. Thanks again to Simon Harvey and Gail
Lankford for helping out.
