["Bryant, Rhonda" <rbryant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rhonda pointed out a female American Redstart on Sunday morning's walk in Berea 
Woods. I suspect it is a migrant; I haven't seen any summering redstarts there 
nor think there would be. There was considerably more activity than on last 
week's sultry outing, but nothing else unusual.

I have been taking  note of acorns, etc. I have found one white oak species 
tree with acorns, a dwarf chinquapin, I have not seen a hickory nut, walnut, or 
persimmon in the Berea woods  either. There is a Scarlet Oak (I think) just in 
side the fence there that has a good supply of acorns; it should prove to be 
the center of considerable action this fall.
