Can anyone tell what bird it is — I think it's a warbler — that has a buzzy
song which is a rising scale of about seven notes? Like Bzz.zt! ?
Thanks for any help —

What names are you referring to? It's my understanding that what we used
to call an Oldsquaw is now properly called a Long-Tailed Duck. Are there
other birds whose names are being changed? The quotation below is from

Enlighten me: I thought GHO courted in January. If they are courting in
October, won't the females be brooding and then raising owlets in the
middle of winter?

John just called from Montezuma to say that he watched a Hudsonian

The good news is that there is an Eared Grebe close to shore right now at

While perusing USA Today in Wegman's Cafe, I read a brief article about a
surprising abundance of eight Snowy Owls counted in Kansas. The phenomenon
was linked to a normal, cyclical low in the number of arctic rodents,
driving the owls south. If so, perhaps we too shall be lucky.
