Hey everyone, 
On my way home yesterday from chasing the Black-tailed Gull in Ohio, I stopped 
by Wallins Rd to check for the Vermilion. There, I ran into Steve Lubahn, Joan 
Sommer and Marylin Bontly who said they'd been there all morning with no sign 
of the bird. I stayed about an hour in the cold wind. No sign of it. Hopefully 
it has moved on to warmer climes. 

Oh yea, and for those wondering about the Black-tailed Gull: It has been 
hanging out in Ashtabula Harbor, Ashtabula, OH since last week. I saw it at 
7:20am on Thurs. Great way to spend Thanksgiving!

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first 
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the 
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no 
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be 
again."

(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
