I've been corrected: what I saw was a snipe (not a dowitcher) on a
telephone wire, and what a cool sight that was to behold (now posted on
Facebook bird club page)! Thanks, Chris (and others)!
By the way, I'm doing research on effective herbal bug repellants over the
counter and home-made recipes... and would be happy to report back what I
find. Please let me know if you have something working well right now
(natural and not natural) and for how long it lasts before you have to
reapply? When I was leaving Redwood, NY yesterday, they reported that they
were going to spray the town and everyone should stay indoors for several
hours. I hope there will be a heavy rain shortly thereafter, and that the
flycatchers and their young survive.
