     I couldn't stand it, I had to do something to contribute, so I went to 
look for pelagics on our little one acre canoeing pond.  I'm happy to report 
that Isabel caused no damage or dislocation of birds there.
     Afterwards, I went to the top of the hill to check the fencerow in the 
middle of a large field.  I found an American Kestrel there, as well as a 
Northern Mockingbird and a Loggerhead Shrike sharing a shrub.  The shrike was 
flying out into the recently harvested tobacco field to catch insects on the 
ground, I think.  A pair of Northern Flickers tried to harass the Kestrel.  A 
small 
flock of what may have been American Pipits took off and spent several minutes 
zigzagging around the sky, as one of the eleven seemed bent on chasing a 
slightly larger bird, and the other ten kept trying to follow.  Not bad for a 
twenty minute break between classes.  I credit the weather gods for inspiring 
me 
to get out and look.
