While hardly "president' material, I'll gladly offer my time, without
reservation, in devotion to your legacy and works. Would indeed be both an
honor and a privilege.
Let me know if I can help in any way.

From: ddarm(AT)umich.edu
Date: 12 Mar 2008 7:47am
16 Washtenaw Audubon Society birders successfully managed an hat trick
for owls last night in spite of the windy conditions. We viewed the
Great Horned Owl on nest at the M-14 west bound exit ramp onto Miller,
a pair of howling Barred Owls in western Washtenaw County and were
buzzed by (several?) Eastern Screech Owls in Lodi Township. Nice
evening in spite of the cold.

Birders,
In support of Bruce's size comparison, I've posted one more of my =
Iceland Gull photos showing Herring and Ring-billed Gulls in the same =
frame. I think this photo also shows the distinctive head and bill =
proportions, longer wings, and slimmer body, which are good indicators =
of Iceland Gull and not Glaucous Gull.

Subject: [birders] Cull of Cormorants in Southern Ontario
From: tallred100(AT)aol.com
Date: 12 Mar 2008 1:08pm
----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
Parks Canada is proposing to shoot double-crested cormorants on Middle Island in
April. The plan, that could be changed depending on nesting trends, is to
reduce the number of nests on the island from about 4,000 down to 440 to 840 in
the next five years.
Middle Island is the southern most Canadian Island south of Point Pelee National
Park, both of which are managed by Parks Canada.
Recent article in the Windsor Star from March 7th at following URL:
http://www.canada.com/windsorstar/features/soundoff/story.html?id=39c4e8b7-9822-4bf8-a63d-af72363cf504&k=6897
If you disagree with this plan, you may want to think twice about visiting and
spending US$$ in the Point Pelee, Canada area this spring.

Subject: [birders] Spring bounty
From: shoi1(AT)comcast.net
Date: 12 Mar 2008 1:17pm
Spring is definately approaching here in Saint Clair Shores, though the
snow attempts to dissuade one from thinking so. Our feeders are keeping us
busy with re-filling. We have had 2 Redpolls darting in and out for the
last three days. There is a Red-Winged Blackbird flying from front to back
yard, with an occasional stop-over on the garage that entertains me to no
end. A grouping of 8-10 cowbirds visited us one day early last week, along
with a large grouping (35) of Goldfinches.
Fred had the luck of seeing a Turkey Vulture at Vernier and I-94 on the
last day of February.
It seems that my kitched window is The spot to be in these last, lingering
days of winter.
Good birding to all!

today around noon. I also observed a Red-Shouldered Hawk back in what

borders the park. There was another sighting by Brian McGee back on Feb.

Subject: [birders] Re: White-fronted Goose, Washtenaw Co.
From: "Bruce M. Bowman" <bbowman99(AT)comcast.net>
Date: 12 Mar 2008 4:56pm
The Greater White-fronted Goose was still there, 4:00-4:15 today. It was
in some cattails or other dry grass just down the railroad embankment.
It was on the shore or on ice at water's edge with Canada Geese. It
should have been possible to spot the bird from the Foster/Maple bridge,
but Bob Kelsch and I didn't see it from there. Maybe it had its head
tucked. It was something like 200 yards west of the Maple Rd./Huron
River Dr. intersection. You'll need to climb up the embankment. The
slope is steep and slippery ever where it's not snow covered. The best
place to do the climb is 50 feet east of the Maple Rd./Huron River Dr.
road sign. Climb up and then walk west. There's not much room for
pulling your car off the road.
Thanks for finding this bird, Joe.
I'll post some photos later.

Regardless of whether a virus warning is real or not, it's not welcome at
birders. It has to be considered spam. We can't do it all at
birders(AT)umich.edu, so we limit the subject matter to wild birds (mostly
in Michigan) with exceptions for occasional posts about non-bird nature

From: Dave Sing <dsing(AT)umich.edu>
Date: 12 Mar 2008 7:54pm
Howdy. Just espied a white-phase Snow goose among some Canadas in the
Dexter Mill Pond.
7:40 PM, Weds 3/12. Also a Pied-billed grebe, a smattering of Common
mergs, and a Common
goldeneye pair. Sandhills scattered around the countryside between Dexter
and Chelsea.
Eastern meadowlark, Steinbach and Trinkle rds. Very nice light-phase
Rough-legged hawk, open
lands of the CSGA. Still awaiting the first Phoebe of the season....

Subject: [birders] Common Redpolls in Macomb Co.
From: ruttabacki(AT)aol.com

----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
Birders,
At noon today?approximately 40 Common Redpolls were?on Inwood Road just west of
Mound Road in Macomb Co. north of Stony Creek Metropark.? One very light colored
redpoll?stood out from the flock but it had a large amount of streaking on
its?flanks.? I was not able to study the whole flock as a large county grading
truck was leveling this dirt road.? I presume this large flock of
redpolls?represents a welcome sign of spring as they gather together to fly
north again.? Horned Larks were also in the disturbed dirt of the road.

Jeff,
An excellent, and very current source of this kind of information is
available via the Birds of North America Online which can be accessed
through the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. There is a $40 annual
membership fee, but if you need to look up this kind of information
frequently, and need more complete details than any one individual "expert"
could provide, it is well worth it.

Every day, the hummingbird eats its own weight in food.
You may wonder how it weighs the food.
It doesn't. It just eats another hummingbird.
