Subject: Scissor-tails and  whimbrels

There seems to be nothing  shockingly unusual about a scissor-tailed
flycatcher in Ohio at this time  (we have 15 accepted records, a lot of
them in May, and other strays of  this western bird are now being seen as
far east as New Hampshire and New  Jersey), but the Kilby Rd bird seems
to be the most persistent on record in  Ohio. If you want to see this
bird in the state, by all means try this one.  Three of the previous
records were promptly shot (not recently: nowadays  there's probably no
really good reason to collect specimens of this species  here), and
nearly all the rest have been one- or two-day wonders. They are  of
course common in their western breeding-season range, and  Florida
vacationers can reliably see them there in winter, as  well.
Coming up should be the brief spring  passage of migrant whimbrels. They
prefer an over-water route, and are most  often seen here along the Lake
Erie shore, but a few birds veer inland,  even including a remarkable
flock of 106 near Killdeer Plains on one  occasion. Observers in Toronto,
where the largest regional numbers are  seen, give 24 May--Monday--as the
best day to look for them, on average.  There are only a few early June
records, so the window is a narrow  one.

Subject: Rail? with young -- CVNP - Summit Co.- Ira  Beaver Marsh

At Ira Beaver Marsh CVNP around 11am today I saw some sort  of rail I think
with three little ones in tow. I got a better look at the  babies than the
adult. They were black fur-balls on long legs with long  bills with a ring
around the bill.  Cute as the dickens.   Thoughts on ID are appreciated.
Located on right side of boardwalk just as  you get to the marsh.

Subject: Kirtland's and Connecticut  at Magee

As of a little after 1 p.m. today (Friday May 21) there was  another
Kirtland's Warbler on the east beach (Wildlife Beach) at Magee  Marsh
Wildlife Area in n.w. Ohio.  Iain Campbell and Christian Boix  from Tropical
Birding were among the individuals who saw it.  The bird  was about 100
yards
east on the beach.  Note that this area is about a  quarter-mile east of the
parking lot for the Magee boardwalk.  A  Connecticut Warbler was also seen
earlier near the lakefront dike, just  northeast of the eastern end of the
boardwalk parking lot.

Subject:  MigrantExodus,Columbus,5-20,21

I spent parts of the last 2 mornings at  2 of the better migrant traps in
south Columbus - Berliner Park and 3-Creeks -  and was startled by the low #s
of migrants.  The nice day on Thursday  apparently allowed the earlier wave
to exit, while the crappy weather today  hasn't allowed much replenishment.
 Notables included:

Flycatchers  - lots of resident Acadian, Pewees, and Great Crested at both
locations, but  no late Empids yet

Vireos - also plenty of resident Warbling &  Red-eyed at both locations,
but no Philadelphias (which are often 3rd wave  birds here)

Thrushes - plenty of Swainson's at both locations, about  the only migrant
in good numbers, but no Gray-cheeks

Warblers - slim  pickings, with a few Redstarts at each spot, plus a Canada
in Berliner along  the bikepath.

Others - plenty of Indigo Buntings, but it's hard to  distinguish migrants
from residents.  Only 1 Scarlet tanager (at  Berliner), and no  grosbeaks.

Subject: OT: Comment on closed Magee  Sportsmen's Center

I marked this "OT" - i.e., off topic - as it really  does not impact
birding.
However, it does impact birding visitors. I know  there are people on the
Ohio list who are the right people - or who will  refer my note to the right
people.



Yesterday (Thursday, May  20) Judy and I again visited Magee Marsh after
having birded there the day  before and having spent the night at Port
Clinton. After a long birding  session, and with the growing heat and
humidity, we were looking forward to  the facilities at the Magee
Sportsman's
Center to refresh and maybe watch  birding videos while we cooled off. It
was
closed!



Yes, the  "open" sign was not on the road, but I figured maybe it had not
been put  out. The gate was open. I note that first time visitors would not
even know  a sign usually would be there. So we drove into the lot and
walked
to the  building, only to find the note on the front door that said it was
closed  due to a meeting.



While we were there - maybe 10 minutes at  most - three other parties tried
to access the closed building. I can just  imagine how many people were
impacted that day! To elderly, handicapped, or  just more compulsive people
the rest rooms in the building are significant.  On hot days, the AC is also
something to be enjoyed!  It is especially  important to non-locals who do
not know the  area!



Fortunately, we had visited the beautiful facility at  Ottawa the day
before.
It is a mile west from the Magee entrance road. We  told the others about
it,
but wondered if it would also be impacted by a  "district-wide" meeting! We
were pleased to find it open! Refreshed, we  enjoyed a nice picnic in the
covered unit by the parking lot before  continuing our birding at Metzger
Marsh.



OK, here are the  points I am making:

1)      May is the big month for  Magee Marsh! Many visitors - and many for
the first time - know only of  what they read on the Internet. We do have
expectations based on what we  read, or have experienced before. Why close
an
important birding facility  for a day in May? (Yes, BSBO was open, the Big
Week was over, and porta  facilities are available, and so on ., but that is
not the  point.)

2)      If the Magee facility is closed, at  least place a sign in the
parking lot at the beginning of the sidewalk to  the building. We watched a
woman with her elderly mother walk half-way  there as we were returning from
the building and signed to them "closed". I  can just imagine a handicapped
person go thru the unloading process and get  to the closed building!

3)      Be sure to put a  referral and directions to Ottawa on the sign! Had
we not been there the  day before, we would just have assumed Magee was the
main place and the  near-by Ottawa facilities would be more primitive. We
also assumed Ottawa  would be closed as well since it was a "district-wide"
meeting. Yet, we  also knew there were at least porta facilities there at
the
hiking trail  lot, so we proceeded.

4)      It was fortunate that the  Ottawa volunteers were present! Why not
the Magee volunteers at least?  Interestingly, we had handed out Magee
"birder's cards" at each  establishment we frequented on this trip. If it is
important to support  birding, please do so.

5)      If you want an "all  hands" meeting, try some other time of year!

6)       Yes! This is a very special place, and, yes (!) it  significantly
contributes to the Ohio economy! And, certainly, yes (!!!),  we will return
to Ohio again - and maybe even take a longer trip to see  other places the
Ohio birders have posted on the list.



Lest  you get me wrong, I am not totally upset about this, just a  bit
disappointed. We had a great trip! Many "lifers", many great encounters
with
birders, and a really great time for the two of us. By spending a  night, we
were able to range farther into local areas we had not previously  explored.
I used the Big Week, BSBO and Kaufman links on the Internet to  get good
places to stay and visit. What a great area! We will  return!



I'll blog my experience (without the above comments)  after I process the
hundreds of pics we took. It may take  awhile.



Just my "two bits" for the right people. Everyone else  please just press
"delete". Thanks for listening.

Having had several helpful replies from  this forum and more time to look at
field guides, I am fairly certain I saw  a Virginia rail with three chicks
this morning. Thanks for everyone's  input!

I also forgot to mention I saw an Alder flycatcher in about the  same area
as
the rail, calling from a willow tree further out in the marsh.  I also add
great crested flycatcher, eastern kingbird, a wilson's warbler,  and barn,
tree and northern roughwing swallows to my previous hurried  list.

Good birding!

Subject: Connecticut Warbler and Sandhill  Crane Lake County 5/21

There were lots of migrants today at my yard in  North Perry.  There were at
least 19 species of warblers with at least  1 Connecticut and 6 mourning
warblers.  Also of note was a single  sandhill crane flying high overhead.
Also seen were black-billed cuckoo,  alder flycatcher, and Philadelphia
vireo
amongst the more common  species.
