The internet has been doing weird things lately, and maybe this has been posted but not gotten to me, but ... Del Striegel found some American Avocets at the Falls of the Ohio this morning. Eddie Huber went down there later and reported 3 (so maybe there are only 2? ... :o) The juvenile White Ibis continues there as well, although it moves in and out behind the vegetation of the pools to the right of the overlook out on the main fossil beds. This morning I assisted Kate Heyden, Ben Leffew, and Dan Stoelb at the Shaker Village MAPS banding station. On Tuesday morning we caught a Black-billed Cuckoo ... this morning that same bird was recaptured and another was seen next to the net that the first was being extracted from. We also caught a Least Flycatcher ... this is about the 4th mid-July record in the state away from nesting areas and must indicate a relatively regular initiation of migration this early. bpb, Louisville
