Subject: Walking Big-day results
From: "gljeinwv(AT)juno.com" <gljeinwv@juno.com>
Date: 11 May 2008 5:06am
Prompted by a post on this list which encouraged "Green Birding", John Boback
and I did a Walking Big-day yesterday in the Allegheny Mountains area of
north-central West Virginia. Despite crappy weather all morning (we contended
with intermittent rain, wind and cool temperatures) we managed to tally 88
species. We started at 5:45 am and stopped at 4:30 pm, when we were both ready
to keel over. We estimated that we walked app. 7 miles.
Highlights were;
Black-bellied Plover (very rare for here and a county life-bird for me)
Lesser Scaup (straggler here now)
5 swallow species (Bank is difficult to find here)
7 Black-billed Cuckoos (most Black-billed Cuckoos I've encounterd in one day)
Total list is below.

Subject: A backyard surprise
From: "R.D. Everhart" <everhart(AT)black-hole.com>
Date: 11 May 2008 11:50am
I arrived home from breakfast to find a couple of new birds by the
house. A Swainson's Thrush in the front yard and, surprise, surprise,
a Red-headed Woodpecker in the backyard at the feeders. A bird I work
hard to see every year shows up in my yard in the middle of suburbia.
Who would have guessed? A couple of photos are posted on my blog:

In spite of the wind, today could be a good day to get out in the
field.

Subject: RFI: Bermuda and the Cahow
From: "candr1(AT)i-bird.com" <candr1@i-bird.com>
Date: 11 May 2008 2:16pm
In August I will be taking a cruise out of Boston to Bermuda. In addition to sun
and fun, would like to know the possibility of seeing the Bermuda Petrel, aka
Cahow. It breeds in the winter and is at sea in the summer. Has anyone done
this cruise and saw it while at sea?
Thanks,
Richard Tkachuck
