Hwy 70 Ponds in Kinston



I had the opportunity to check these 2 ponds today at noon. While I did
not see the previously reported Common Merganser, I was treated to a
male and a female Anhinga feeding, swimming and drying with several
Double-crested cormorants. It was good to compare the 2 species both in
and out of the water.

The old quarry in New Bern is the only fairly reliable place where
Anhings are found around here in winter, to the best of my knowledge. I
believe these to be late and unusual, unless anyone has further
experience. If so, I would love to hear about the sightings.
