Janet Hinshaw of the U Mich museum called our attention to the following article: http://www.birdwatchingdaily.com/blog/2014/03/06/warming-temperatures-are-pushing-carolina-and-black-capped-chickadees-northward/ .

In lighter news, some Oregon birders are making hilarious fun of the "takeover" of the Malheur NWR; see http://www.breakingburgh.com/enraged-birders-to-retake-oregon-wildlife-refuge-in-dawn-offensive/ Bill Whan ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
