["michael autin" <napkinarmstrong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello I have done a little birding in areas that don't get many reports over 
the last couple of days.  Yesterday, I walked from UPS to Nevada behind the 
airport property had very few birds as it was windy.  One of the highlights 
was a distant(only because I had no binocs) Blue grosbeak. I heard it making 
a loud pink call but needed better silhouette and behavior observation to 
identify it, and got just enough.  I never got any color but size ans shape 
I think gave me confidence that it was.  I  also saw a cicada impaled head 
first on the fence surrounding the property, and was wondering if anyone new 
what kind of animal besides a shrike would do that.  other highlights:
Carolina Wren
Eastern Kingbird
Co. Yellowthroat

Lepidoptera:1 Checkered White

Iroquois Park Saturday August 18 9:30-11:00

famliy of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
1 imm. American Redstart- earliest I have ever seen one. migrating patterns 
have been shifting dramatically on the timetable- already people are 
reporting post-breeding dispersal winter finches


Good Birding,
