Today’s Art: “Grayced eye reflection”
https://nc.audubon.org/news/you’re-invited-witness-magic-swift-migration
This is an awesome sight! The article lets you search for nearby viewing points. if you are not in North Carolina, go to the National Audubon website and search for your state and see if the migration occurs there and where you might view it.
Here is a much better set of photos of the leucistic chipping sparrow at Jordan Lake. I put the set out yesterday in a hurry because sometimes these oddly colored babies don’t have a long life … I wanted everybody to have a chance, if they could, to go and see it. The youngster was still there this morning so here is a brand new photo set. Hope y’all enjoy them.
Jordan Lake Visitor Assistance Center at the dam has a RARE bird. The light colored chipping sparrow fledgling is showing a leucistic pattern. Leucistic = white. Compare the youngster’s white areas to its parent’s dark plumage. This kind of plumage color abnormality occurs about 1 in 30,000 birds. I hope you can go see this cutie. Thanks Army Corps CESAW Jon Bannerman for the original sighting!
Jordan Lake Dam and Tailrace Area are Open! Please be very careful as the Haw River is flowing very fast and forceful. I would avoid going on the riprap rocks! A slip could be dangerous. I made the clip this morning and it has the Haw River, ospreys and great blue herons fishing.
