Sad to hear that the warblers I have waited a year for have finally been spotted in Duluth. Seems like a black and white spring for me -
BUT the reason I am unable to rush up to Duluth to see God's Technicolor IMax 3-D show is that I am on my way to NE England near the border of Scotland and England on the North Sea. Through BirdingPal.com, a man I am hooking up with just north of Newcastle has booked us on a boat to see an island where Roseate Terns are nesting! I don't know much about the bird yet but from my initial searches, the tern is endangered and this island is one of the few sites where they nest at least near England. I am pretty stoked to have the opportunity - plus he has guaranteed me puffins and gannets! Yeeehaaaaw! In the meanwhile, would someone please contact the producer and director of the warbler spring migration show and have her hold a few of each species back in Minneapolis, in a certain woods in Maple Grove so I can see them when I return? Ultimately, any lack of observation will require me to schedule a week up in the Boundary Waters where a lot of them nest - so it looks like I am living in that win/win zone once again - or as usual. Can it get any better than this? Thomas Maiello Angel Environmental Management, Inc.
