Tyler et al., If only that was me on the Tyrannus caudifasciatus!!! No, in fact, that was seen by Mike Nelson out of Portland, OR, several days back. Other goodies from the project that have not come from my Platform have been Red-billed Tropicbird (AL), Greater Shearwater (AL, LA), Bell's Vireo (TX), Selasphorus sp. (TX), and a couple surprising species for offshore in Gulf Waters have been Red-headed Woodpecker (AL), and, you guessed it, Red-breasted Nuthatch (LA, so far...). I've had a set of very slow days recently, but did have my first Peregrine Falcon show up the other day, and a few new birds have been around today including my first Marsh Wren, hopping around on the open decks. I'll let you all know when I top that Loggerhead Kingbird... Best, Marshall Iliff miliff@aol.com Mobil Green Canyon 18, LA
