The birdtrail was painstaking slow today, though it seemed every tree held a Yellow-rumped Warbler. My best bird was probably an early GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH. I birded at Metzger before and after Magee, and as far as I know, there were no repeats of any of the shorebirds from yesterday. The ibises did show up some time in between, and then flew off in the direction of Mallard Club and points west. I believe I only had 7 sp. of warbler between the two locations and as far as I know, I only missed one (Prothonotary). My last stop was the under-birded Pipe Creek WA. Nothing spectacular to report - there won't be any shorebirds here anytime soon, unless ODNR does something drastic - but there were a lot of waterfowl about - including 27 shovelers and 30 gadwall. A Sora was also calling. I also had a CATTLE EGRET on SR 2 just east of Magee. Good birding - Gabe Leidy Hinckley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
