1st Annual Bird-A-Thon A
Great Success
The First Annual PRAS Birdathon
was held April 20, 2002.
At 7 am, sixteen of us met,
split into 7 groups, and started
birding! We traveled far
and wide in search of birds.
In total, we identified 125
species! Congrats to the Mathewson
team who identified the most
(85) species. Some of the more "exciting" birds
included painted bunting,
indigo bunting, yellow-billed
cuckoo, burrowing owl, crested
caracara (I guess it's the
northern caracara now), northern
gannet, gray kingbird, brown-headed
nuthatch, black-necked stilt,
dunlin, solitary sandpiper,
roseate spoonbill, whip-poor-will,
cedar waxwing, roseate tern,
and sandwich tern. Several
of us had the opportunity
to see a couple of new lifers!
One of the best birding spots
was the lake at the Charlotte
Harbor Buffer Preserve, just
south of the Charlotte Harbor
Environmental Center on Burnt
Store Road. We saw several
species of raptors, ducks,
shore and wading birds, and
a marvelous display of an eastern
meadowlark.
Seven of us met at the Webb
towards the end of the day.
We were treated by several
common nighthawks, eastern
bluebirds, limpkins, a juvenile
black-crowned night-heron,
and turkeys, but no red-cockaded
woodpeckers! On our way out
of the park we had a treat,
a hunter's dream in fact. We
saw several white-tailed deer
and a couple of turkeys all
foraging together. As the cars
approached they halfheartedly
scampered away; they looked
as if they were playing, especially
the fawns. We said goodnight
and left the Webb after 13
hours of birding.
Although the totals are not
yet in, we likely raised a
good amount of money for the
Youth Environmental Education
Fund. Results should be available
for the next White Bird edition.
Many thanks to all who participated
and sponsored the first annual
birdathon! |
