Hello, this is a Dec. 29 update of the Carolina Rare Bird Alert featuring 
birding news from North and South Carolina sponsored by the Carolina Bird 
Club. Highlights on this report include:

BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRDS
EURASIAN WIGEON
CINNAMON TEAL

At least 2 BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRDS can be seen in NC right now. An imm. 
male with visible purple feathers on the throat is dependable at a feeder in 
Sunset Beach, NC. For directions to this bird contact Mary McDavit at 
910-579- 2446. A female BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD is also dependable at a 
feeder in Charlotte, NC. Call Linda Munoz at 704-543-1845 for details.

A male EURASIAN WIGEON is being seen at Greenfield Lake in Wilmington, NC. 
Look for a small group of Am. wigeon on the lake. The EURASIAN WIGEON should 
be with those birds.

The CINNAMON TEAL at Sunset Beach, NC has not been seen since Dec. 24 but 
birders looking at the Black-chinned hummingbird there should take time to 
look for this duck on the lake. (Lake Medcalf).

Thanks this week to Sam Cooper, Linda Munoz, and Mary McDavit for their calls 
and reports.
