Subject: Bald Eagles
From: Yvonne Bordelon <ylbordelon(AT)JUNO.COM>
Date: 17 Jan 2001 1:42pm

        I'm still breathless with excitement.  I just saw 2 bald eagles in a
large pine tree in my front yard.  The dogs who were inside kept giving
short barks to alert me of an intruder.  I kept looking & listening, but
couldn't see or hear anything.  Then I saw a wispy white feather floating
down from a pine tree.  Rio (the dog) barked again & put his hackles up,
so I knew it had to be something big.  I sneaked out the back door and
came around to the front.  All of a sudden the 2 of them lifted off from
a tree about 75 ft. away.  One was an adult.  Its tail was totally white,
the shoulders & back were brown.  I couldn't see the head.  The other was
an immature.  It's tail had a lot of white feathers, but still had a lot
of brown.
        They soared over HWY. 190, calling that eagle call and then headed off
in the direction of Lake Ramsey.
        As Olga says, "We are truly blessed."

Subject: Little Hummer Boy.
From: "J. S. SLACK III" <sslack3(AT)IX.NETCOM.COM>
Date: 17 Jan 2001 2:19pm

Y'all:  (The "subject" is just a word-play on the Season, nothing to do
with the content!)  I feel fortunate to host two winter hummers in Baton
Rouge-a first for me.  The 3 feeders were replenished on Sunday the 17th,
and the rusty male stayed by the backyard station, and the green female
stayed outside the breakfast room window with no competition between
them.  However, peering at them through spyglasses and comparing them to
the images in my books were no real help.  Okay, so one's a female and the
other may or may not be, and one has some rust color on its rear quarter
panels and the other is mostly green/gray but fluffed-up the size of a
wren, maybe not.  What the heck?  Thanks for the info Nancy and I'm looking
forward to your visit with a net, and thanks for the phone call Dennis.  A
Verry Merry & Happy Holidays to all, looking forward to the martin scouts,
JSS3.

Subject: Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks in N.O.
From: Christie Riehl <Christieriehl(AT)AOL.COM>

LABIRD:
       Today I had two Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks flying along the river
at the border of Orleans and Jefferson Parishes. This is about four miles
from Audubon Zoo, where I and a few other birders saw two BBWD fly over last
June (while looking for the "Antillian" Nighthawk). Also had a Green Heron
and a Wilson's Warbler at Audubon Park.

Subject: LA Western Winter Hummer report #22
From: Tom & Eloise Sylvest <tomande(AT)STARGAZER.NET>
Date: 17 Jan 2001 8:39pm

Louisiana Western Hummer Weekly Report #22 from 1-10-01 through 1-17-01

Humnetters and Labirders,

Look at David L'Hoste's histograms and Stacy Peterson's maps of our
Louisiana Western Winter Hummers at the LOS Website as follows:

<http://losbird.org>

Do not be offended by my not acknowledging your reports individually as
they have become too numerous
and it would require too much time. However, please report my errors to me.

Thank you for sending your first observed dates on western hummers in
Louisiana. Please continue to send your reports. And, be sure to include
those reports by birders who do not subscribe to our lists.

Report the presence of Rubythroats also. Although, there will be a separate
 report for Rubythroats.

Also, please honor the request of Dr. Remsen, LSU, for info as follows:

1. Whether the bird is known to be a return (banded or marked)
2. Whether the bird is likely a return (adult with similar
     markings/behavior -- this can be subjective, but do your best).
3. The departure date if you know it.

From 1-10 - 01 through1-17-01 we have had additional
western winter hummers reported in Louisiana with
first observed dates.

Subject: Grand Isle Tree Planting
From: David Muth <dmuth(AT)BELLSOUTH.NET>
Date: 17 Jan 2001 10:01pm

All:

Just another reminder that this Saturday, Jan. 20, the Nature Conservancy
and its Grand Isle partners will be conducting another tree planting on the
Exxon property, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

Good birding, a good time, and a great cause.  If you are planning to
attend, and HAVE NOT ALREADY signed up with TNC, please respond to me so I
can let them know.

See you there.
