Howdy All! Aside from the good pelagic species that will be added on the upcoming trips, we should be on the lookout for a few other species being reported around us: ***Purple Gallinule - seen in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, and the Carolinas within the past 3 wks ***White Ibis - scattered rpts as far away as New Mexico (ok...well. it is the *wrong* direction, but...I was just dreaming) ***Swallow-tailed Kite - several scattered rpts; one in Massachusetts this week ***Painted Bunting - one in Massachusetts this week; several in the Great Lakes within the last 2 wks Looks like La Nina is serving up an odd summer... -- Greg Miller Baltimore, MD
