Y'know, I should wear a t-shirt that says "warbler repellant" so birders who want to see warblers know to *stay away from me*! Luckily, some birds took pity on me so I didn't go away totally dejected: northern waterthrush hooded warbler scarlet tanager common yellowthroat veery wood thrush worm-eating warbler (heard) ovenbird red-eyed vireo white-eyed vireo (heard) ... and I think the Acadian flycatchers are having their spring convention there. I'm sure there was a lot more warblers there but I could not identify the songs/calls. Until Pete Webb donates the warbler-song-identification portion of his brain to me for a transplant, I'll remain hopeless at that. Later, I ran into Lenny (forgot his last name but he was a BBC board member under Sukon's tenure) and he kindly got me these birds: northern parula Am. redstart Baltimore oriole yellow-crowned night heron Thanks Lenny. :-) And remember, if you see me, *run* the other way. cheers, shireen ========================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ========================================================================= ===========================================================================
