Dave's delightful post with all the details that make such good, educational &
fun reading. His, & Dave Nicosia's post for Sat. will be esp. helpful, when

Bob McGuire, Ann Mitchell & I spent today birding from Stewart Park to Montezuma. Stewart Park had the usual suspects for this time of year, including BARN SWALLOWS, BANK SWALLOWS, SPOTTED SANDPIPER, CASPIAN TERNS, DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, BELTED KINGFISHERS, ten COMMON MERGANSERS on a log (the o
Wow!!! I just want to thank everyone who posted today. Dave Nicosia's list was
great for those of us (ME, esp.!) who have great difficulty with shorebirds. I
am delighted to see that coots & pb grebes are being seen again at the refuge.
The last several yrs. almost none were seen.

was shorebirds. My goal was to get good looks at
many different species for the group, and point out key

saw 12 different species of shoreb

Let's all post MORE. And thanks to those who do.

I LOVED your CEDAR WAXWING posting!
I love it when "my" own Cedar Waxwings fly catch out of my tall Cottonwood
trees by the lake - they are rather herky jerky the way they do it compared to
the ever graceful swallows!

Paul. Sounds like another lovely morning leading the public SSW walk.
Logistically, just wondering. Did you incorporate your postings to Bird Log
into walk discussions? Or did you post surreptitiously? I am thinking and
being inspired that it really will be a great thing to involve walk

Thank you Linda & Donna
I, too, have missed the reports. I do not have the time to scan both eBird
reports & the list-serve but prefer the list postings. I realize many of those
who use eBird also probably do not have time to use the list-serve. BUT I TRULY
APPRECIATE every report, esp. th
I led the CLO walk round the woods this morning. No major surprises, but
highlights were three Green Herons, two Scarlet Tanagers, and two young
Pewees being fed by a parent. Cedar Waxwings were abundant, with lots of
juveniles.
I am finding it very convenient to enter eBird sightings using Bi
A quick comment to the person who wondered about the dearth of bird missives
to this listserv-remember the moral of the story of the Little RED HEN.
As for me (us), I was, last evening, standing out in the front yard
watching for any passable passing passerine and, seeing none, was attracted

Lots of BC Night Herons out at dusk, but too far and dark to tell if YCNH was
with them. I did not see it from Towpath either. 5 RN Phalaropes and 1
Wilson's Phalarope were the shorebird highlights. Good numbers, lots of
distant birds I would have liked a better look at.
