Copperhead Island:
After birding at McDowell Prairie most of the morning of December 10, 2022, our small Mecklenburg Audubon Society group briefly visited nearby Copperhead Island, also located within McDowell Nature Preserve.
Here are a few of my favorite images from this quick stop:
Three photos of Double-crested Cormorants; Mallard; and three shots of American Coots.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!

McDowell Prairie:
Today we finally have another day of bright sunshine here in Charlotte, NC!
Last Saturday, December 10, 2022, was overcast, but at least it wasn’t raining.
I spent the morning birding with a small group from the Mecklenburg Audubon Society at our local McDowell Nature Preserve.
We spent the bulk of our time at McDowell Prairie and the adjacent woods, followed by a brief visit to nearby Copperhead Island.
Here are a few of my favorite images from the first part of our outing:
Six photos of Red-headed Woodpeckers; White-throated Sparrow; White-breasted Nuthatch; and a Purple Finch.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!
