Hi Rogeroo, 
 Glad to read about your gadaboutness. Still looking for the shorebirdies,
huh? I have moved on to my favorites, the warblers. After two weekends at
Meadowside, and only a paltry handful of warblers (though some nice species to
fill in my year list), I went just down the road this morning to Tucker Lane
here in Ashton, and came back at 10:30 with 14 species of warblers, plus 3
vireos and some other neo-tropic goodies. What great fun the warblers were.
Probably the best warbler morning I've had in years, even though I only got 14
species. The action was fast and furious.
 Species seen were: N. Parula(s), A. Redstarts, Canadas, Magnolias,
Tennessees, Nashvilles, Black & White, Black-throated Blues and Black-throated
Green, Blackburnians, Ovenbirds, Kentucky, Prairie, and Chestnut-sideds.
Vireos Red-and White-eyed and Yellow-throated, along with Scarlet Tanager,
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks, E. Wood-pewees,
Acadian Flycatchers, E. Kingbirds, Veery, woodpeckers of various species,
etc., etc. A really nice morning, and I am heading backl there tomorrow
morning to finish up the places I didn't get to bird this morning! I'll keep
you posted.
