Apologies for the belated post - I sent this yesterday from my hotmail account, but no matter how many times I try to set it up, the listserv simply will not accept posts from that account. As predicted and reported by Kenn Kaufman, numbers remained good and variety was excellent at Magee and Ottawa yesterday. Highlights for me were ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER and, at long last, YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD. At Magee, thrushes and even sparrows were almost nonexistent, but good numbers of warblers and vireos were around. The warbler list (22 species) from this birder's perspective: American redstart Bay-breasted Blackburnian (3 or more) Black-and-white Black-throated blue Black-throated green Blackpoll (1) Canada (2) Cape May (3 or more) Chestnut-sided Common yellowthroat Magnolia Mourning (4 or more) Nashville (1) Northern parula Northern waterthrush ORANGE-CROWNED (1) Ovenbird (only 1) Palm (only 1) Wilson's Yellow Yellow-rumped I was in the company of another birder when I saw a female Oporornis and at the boardwalk we made the tentative conclusion it was a Connecticut, but upon review I have decided it was more likely a mourning warbler based on the wash of yellow on the throat. It seems late for it to be holding winter plumage, though. Vireos included many warbling and a few red-eyed; I heard reports of blue-headed and yellow-throated as well. Also at the boardwalk was a late winter wren; not much else of note other than the by-now-usual obliging woodcocks. After Magee I went over to the Ottawa Auto Tour, which yesterday had the character of a traffic jam. It was worth it, however, as at least two adult male YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS were providing quite a show in their usual location. Beautiful birds, and my number one nemesis laid to rest! Good birding. Chris Spagnoli Lakewood, Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
