Hi Spalp, 
 
Look at no. 2 about the fallout of warblers. And read the lighthouse keeper's message that appears below the link (since it is forwarded by another person). He describes warblers fighting to sit on his finger and clinging to his beard. There are about 6 pictures of warblers dropping from the sky to the island where his lighthouse is off the coast of New Brunswick and there are also warblers all over the place--on the ground, the lighthouse, the railings etc. I wish he could have taken a picture of the warblers perched on him!
 
I'm thinking that those piles of grass may have been built up by geese or loons for nests. I think they do build on top of muskrat heaps. But it is probably too early for loons to have vacated their nests already. Beavers always use wood though, not grass as far as I know. One of their primary foods is bark. If the piles are not flattened on top and are cone shaped, then it probably is strictly muskrats. 
 
I don't know about the doctor thing. I can't afford all the doctors I should be going to. there are just too many. I thought trazodone was just a poweful sleep aid. But I feel good today. I have an article to finish fact checking and Wayne is sending me talks from ASCO, the oncology meeting, to write stories on. 
 
I would love to come for July 1st for Bruce's birthday but haven't seriously talked to the family yet. I only mentioned it. For Nat, it probably depends if she can get out of work. Joe might like to come. He had a good time in Washington and was saying that he wishes he could go on a permanent vacation. It just depends on his mood at the moment I guess.

We still have not worked out our plan for looking at colleges. About Helen, I feel awkward inviting myself to sleep at Adam's house, although I am terrified of bed bugs and I bet they would not have them like a hotel room would! I don't know how this happened, but Natalie is under the impression that I said we could go to New York city. It must be because she asked if we could visit CIA and I said alright, and then a few hours later I said, definitely not as I do not want you to borrow all that money, especially to learn cooking. Then she probably said, can we go to New York anyway, and I probably said maybe. She has been dying to go there for years, so I bet I said perhaps we could go there sometime if I have money, and she assumed that meant yes and right now!
 
Bye Spalp1

Not a lot happening at Big Island, Lots of water in places I have never
seen it before.
I pretty much stuck to shooting Dragons and Damsels today but I did get
a few of a Common Yellowthroat that was VERY territorial. :

Other birds seen and heard:

American Coot
GBH
Mallard
Marsh Wren
Yellow Warbler
Indigo Bunting
Swamp Sparrow
Song Sparrow
Tree Swallow
RWBB
Canada Goose
Red Tailed Hawk

That is about it, like I said I was more focused on Dragons and
Damsels...and not tripping over a baby Fawn!:

Subject: genuine fallout of warblers

As a last tidbit to those who enjoy ogling warbler migrations, check out
this  http://www.pbase.com/lightrae/image/135054470  series of photos of
birds arriving on a Maine island a few days ago.
        Also here is a post from the lighthouse keeper:
"Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 06:31:45 -0300
From: Ralph Eldridge
Subject: MACHIAS SEAL ISLAND REPORT

        The wind drop and shift overnight seems to have encouraged heavy
migrant movement. The movement through here was easily the largest this
year and one of the largest that I've ever seen. The fog and rain
showers prompted lots of fall-outs. There was a good mix of species
including shorebirds and Gr. Blue Herons. Thrushes and Catbirds were
noted but the mass was warblers. At one point, while on the light taking
a few photos, I counted 15 warblers perched on me comprising 11 species.
They feel odd when they cling to your beard or cozy down to sleep in
your hair.
A Blackburnian Warbler and Yellow Warbler squabbled for several minutes
to see which would perch on my right index finger, both oblivious to the
finger's movements as I took photos and made camera adjustments.
Eventually, both the warblers lost the apparent prime perch to a male
Common Yellowthroat. That fellow kept his position for nearly a half
hour, interrupted only briefly when I had to reach into my pocket a
coup0le times. I bet that White Head is dripping warblers this morning.

Subject: Passenger pigeon photos sought

A friend with a book in the oven is looking for old photos that document
the "harvest" of passenger pigeons in the old days. It has proved
difficult to find photos of scenes such as a hunter/target shooter with
a dead bird, barrels of pigeons ready for shipment by rail, pigeons for
sale in a market, captive birds for the target-practice crowd, etc. It
is hard to believe the our interaction with so many millions of these
birds has produced no photos of the results. It's possible some local
historical society or personal collection might contain such unpublished
images. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. Again, I am asking
about unique photographs that have not already been widely publicized of
which you have personal knowledge. We've *already* scoured the Web...
Many thanks for any help,
Bill Whan

Subject: Re: re birdsong playback

Greetings,
I lost the original post, so please forgive me that it is not referenced
at the end of this post.

However, as I am truly interested in this topic, I beat the powers at be
to the punch and put a topic regarding this issue up on the forum.

I have said in the past that using bird calls is kind of like drinking
adult beverages...fine in moderation, and only where it's legal, I also
don't use them when I am with other birders, or where there is a lot of
human pressure.

I have heard some people prefer pishing over calls, and others that are
the exact opposite, Some will only use predator calls, and still others
that are of the mindset that any noise used to attract birds is the
cruelest thing that anyone can do.

But a good discussion needs to be made, listing all sides pro and
against, so I started a post:
http://www.ohiobirds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1816

Keep discussion language within the bounds of forum guidelines please.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Steve J.

Subject: Pickerington,5-29

While out running some more OBBA2 site checks, I had a modest fallout this morning.  I spent most of the morning at sites north & east of Pick Ponds, never stopping at the wetlands there.  The landscape doesn't have as much relief or habitat variety as areas further east (like Knox County), but does have lots of small streams bisecting housing developments as well as several woodlots and fields.  Notables:

Hummingbirds - widepsread Ruby-throats, most likely residents

Flycatchers - E.WoodPewees (everywhere), Acadian (residents), Willow (1-2), Gr.Crested (5-6 residents), E.Kingbirds (4+ pairs)

Swallows - Tree, Rough-winged (several nests), Barn, Purple Martins (at several martin houses)

Thrushes - Wood (widespread, mostly residents), Swainson's (rare, only 1 site)

Mimids - all residents (Catbirds, Mockingbirds, Brown Thrashers)

Warblers - 10 species: Yellow, Parula (several on territories), Magnolia (1, almost certainly a migrant), Chesnut-sided (6-7, all likely migrants), Yellow-throated (4-5 residents), Redstarts (4 singing birds, 3 of which were young males), Ovenbird (1 possible resident), Com.Yellowthroat (10+), Kentucky (2 in new areas, likely prospecting for territories), Yellow-br.Chat (2 in good habitat)

Buntings,Grosbeaks - Indigo Buntings (25+, the most common 'migrant' of the morning), Rose-br.Grosbeak (2 singing at Sycamore Creek)

Sparrows - the expected Chipping, Field, & Song, along with the scarcer Savannah (2 spots) and Grasshopper (1 spot)

Subject: Villa Angela-Cleveland, BB Cuckoo, Mourning Warbler May 29

I again went to Villa Angela and Wildwood State Parks on the east side of Cleveland today.  I was there from 7:50 to 3:45pm.  Just about every bird or every other bird was a flycatcher and there was warbler activity right near the lake at Villa Angela most of the day.  Very buggy in the trees near the beach.  Most of the birds were high in the thick leaves.  Here are some of the birds I saw or heard:

BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO 1
Eastern-Wood-Pewees - many
Willow Flycatchers - over 8 (first I have heard the fitz-bews)
Least Flycatchers - over 10
Great Crested Flycatchers - over 5
Eastern Kingbirds 3-4
Red-eyed Vireos - numerous near lake also Warbling
Carolina Wren 1 heard in Wildwood
Swainson's Thrush - at least 8
Wood Thrush 2
Cedar Waxwings - this was another day for Waxwings-when in marina or Villa Angela would see large groups of 15 or 25 and even over 50 and they kept flying west and circling back.  Going through the Wildwood woods and then down by Euclid Creek they were especially thick down with over 30-40 at one time.

Warblers:
Tennessee 1 (heard off and on all day west of bathhouse)
Nashville 1
Yellow - numerous
Chestnut-sided 2
Magnolia 3
Black-throated Green 1
Blackburnian 1 female
Palm 2
Bay-breasted 1 (Roz located this bird)
Blackpoll 10-12 very numerous males & females  \
American Redstarts 10-12
Ovenbird 1
MOURNING WARBLER 1 male  (horrible picture)
Common Yellowthroat 10+
Wilson's 4
Canada 1 female

Field Sparrow 1
Lincoln Sparrow 2
Indigo Bunting 1
