Re Vic Fazio's interesting post, I was wondering when eBird would collect sufficient data to reflect real time in the bird world. It's looks like this amazing tool is there or very close. And with recent improvements in the entry system, it's even easier and faster to use. 

Local Trumbull County birders are certainly aware of this, but for people traveling though --  the small bays on Mosquito Creek Lake are loaded with very vocal, breeding prothonotary warblers. I watched them feeding nestlings in holes in the snags hanging out over the water. I paddled a kayak to find them; the forest around much of the lake is almost inaccessible from land and very dense, and the mosquitoes will draw a pint of blood per hour. Mosquito Lake is just off State Rt. 11 and shows up clearly on any map. (DeLorme p. 43)
