Sunday birds



     I started out at daybreak this morning, making a loop that took me 
from Fayetteville across to the east side of the Cape Fear River to 
Erwin, Rhodes Pond, Old Bluff Church, and River Road before recrossing 
the river and returning to town.
     I saw 42 species of birds including 3 year birds: barn swallow, 
rough-winged swallow, and common yellowthroat.  I saw three kestrels and 
a loggerhead shrike along River Road.  In addition to the birds I saw, I 
heard the signature "wee-tee-oh" of a hooded warbler at one location on 
River Road.  The bird would not show itself and when I worked my way 
into the woods, it shut up.  I'll have to look there again.
