Readers may be interested in the photo of an Ohio warbler at
http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=1220457&MLID=IDF&MLNM=ID%20Frontiers,
where you can link to a lot of guesses. Seems like a good lesson that if
you see something really interesting, take more than one photo...or at
least furnish some rudimentary field observations.
        More importantly, I see in reports in
http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=1220159&MLID=MO&MLNM=Missouri,

http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=1220312&MLID=KS&MLNM=Kansas,
and
http://birding.aba.org/message.php?mesid=1220400&MLID=KS&MLNM=Kansas
some pretty staggering four-digit numbers of trumpeter swan flocks
reported in those states.  These big white alien birds, lovingly
welcomed by many wildlife agencies and too many birders, seem--as many
of us predicted--to be horning their way into the habitats of native swans.
