Cha-ching! Cha-ching!

Too bad about the Swainson's Warbler. Maybe you could find one in Dorchester County where they had them last weekend?

We don't seem to have your new snail mail address, home phone, work phone or fax numbers. Ya never know when something juicy might come along!

Kyle is getting excited/nervous about Attu. Patty is in Florida for a cruise starting today. I don't think she will be able to chase either specialty. Both Patty and Kyle say that we're not to find anything good in St. Mary's while they're gone. I think we'll email them and create some plausible rarities: Roseate Spoonbill, Red Phalarope, White Pelican, Swallow-tailed Kite. There's a whole bunch of goodies just waiting to happen in St. Mary's! Actually, some of the birds that are overdue for St. Mary's include Anhinga, Swainson's Hawk, both godwits (the easy ones), Iceland Gull, Brewer's Blackbird...

We're wishing that the weekend was MUCH closer. I can just imagine that Little Egret bailing about Thursday or Friday though the one at Chincoteague was there for quite a while way back when. We'll see. Now, we need a large wave of warblers to move in since that was our primary objective for the weekend!

Good Birding!
