Thanks for the friendly welcomes!
Among the warblers I saw today were chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, bay-breasted, blackpoll, common yellowthroat, black-throated green, and Tennesee. Also quite a few scarlet tanagers.

Bob: I can see that this site will be addictive!
Kiki: Where is the Drunkan Bastard? I could use a nice beer!

Welcome, BT3, from the Admin and Moderators of Birdforum!

You will not remember this, I know, but you and I met very briefly at Lakeside in '99, and I still have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at the program you and your family did in the auditorium on Friday (?) night. That entire experience -- even tho bird numbers were a bit low, the spectacular weather made up for it! -- was about the most enjoyable birding experience of my life!

The knowledge you will bring to this forum will be a tremendous asset, and I hope you have as much fun on here as the rest of us do!

And if you can spare a couple hours away in two weeks, please think about joining us on the GGBC 2 (full details in the Member's Notice Board) on the second weekend in October -- SE Ohio isn't represented!

Thanks Beverly! That '99 Midwest Birding Symposium was fantastic--great people, great weather, and lots of fun.

I'll check out the details on the GGBC.

We're gearing up for The Big Sit! on Sunday October 12. Details about it are here:

Good birding!--Bill

A warm welcome to you Bill. You are right, this sight is extremely addictive. Take your time though. There is so much information here at your fingertips.

Saw my first American Redstart of the season today and me, with 3 full days off. Should be a fun weekend birdwise.

Will do, Beverly.

Great morning of birding here despite the rain. Lots of Blackburnian warblers, plus palm, Tennessee, hooded, magnolia, bay-breasted, blackpoll, and yellowthroat.

Hi BT3: I just joined BF last week. I'm in Cleveland and don't know where Whipple is. Migration here is winding down on the Polar birds ie Bufflehead,swans and mergansers.on Lake Erie. Give me a shout at least to educate me on Ohio geography as to the position of Whipple. I'll clip on one of our polar visitors for you.
Good sightings
Sam Walker

Sam, since Bill hasn't posted in a while, I'll take a stab at the answer. Whipple is somewhere down around Marietta, or is it New Palestine?

Thanks for posting on my behalf Beverly. Yep, Whipple is in SE Ohio, NE of Marietta but in the same county (Washington). I drive into Marietta most days to work at BWD but this winter and spring am spending lots of time at home on the farm working on a couple of books.

Still have a few bald eagles around and the spring ducks are starting to come through. Woodcock started displaying in our meadow on Monday night this week (Feb 23). Usual start date is Feb 19 or so.
