Janet Hinshaw of the U Mich museum called our attention to the following
article:
http://www.birdwatchingdaily.com/blog/2014/03/06/warming-temperatures-are-pushing-carolina-and-black-capped-chickadees-northward/
   .  This is happening quickly enough so that living Ohio birders can

  .
        In lighter news, some Oregon birders are making hilarious fun of the
"takeover" of the Malheur NWR; see
