An interesting article landed in my mail the same time this email did. Thought that I would pass it along.: http://wild.enature.com/blog/what-happens-to-birds-when-hurricanes-hit/ I especially liked the epitath at the end. ;-D Steve Glen Crippen <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Can anyone provide best guesses on the impact (if any?) hurricane Irene may have on Ohio birding this weekend - particularly along the Lake Erie shoreline? Is it too early to even tell? Weather predictors seem to be scratching their head to some degree on where it will make landfall but I suspect that particular aspect may have little bearing on the bigger picture for Ohio birders.
