I'm back from spectacular NW Ohio ; reports received while I was away

I'm back from the "warbler capital of the world" , northwest Ohio/ southwestern shores of Lake Erie, with Magee Marsh/Crane Creek the utopia of the spectacular birding witnessed by many. Me and Mary's 115 species (under 2 days) included White Pelicans, 3 Upland Sandpipers (I found), Marbled Godwit and many warblers , among them the "Holy Grail" of warblers, the rarest in North America: KIRTLAND'S WARBLER (male) seen on Friday the 14th. The bird was found by eminent birder Kenn Kaufmann, along the beach thickets, very tame , seen by 1000's of birders. It is an endangered bird, specifically tuned to only rare localized Jack Pine forests of specific height in central Michigan. Quite a picky bird, hopefully around in the years ahead given its very fragile status.

***************************************************

Now here below are all the reports sent to me during my absence. I will post from most recent to oldest without highlighting.You will need to browse through since its many. I gather from quick read and texts i rec'd that MOURNING WARBLER, BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, BICKNELLS THRUSH,OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER ,WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW , ACADIAN FLYCATCHER, BALD EAGLE were some of the best sightings in Prospect. The fallout of Friday into Saturday lived up to my feeling that southern winds would bring in the "beef".Glad it did. A great birding expereince of the past few days... now I need some sleep.

Subject: Prospect Park: MOURNING, CAPE MAY, 20 WARBLER SP.
From: Jonathan Perez
Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 13:01:30 -0400
X-Message-Number: 4

A fallout over night, today was great in Brooklyn.

Today's highlights at PROSPECT PARK included a MOURNING warbler near the
pond. It skulked in the underbrush to the water and displayed a clear
bluish-gray back when in the light.

In the midwood section of the park near Rick's place, highlights included 2
CAPE MAY WARBLERS both singing within 5 feet of my positioning. Also in
that same section, 2 BAY BREASTED WARBLERS made an appearance alongside
tanagers, and a slew of other warblers.

Quite close to Grand Army Plaza an OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER made a brief
appearance at around 7:20 AM.

The total number of the day's warblers were 20.

Hi Peter,

In addition to the Gray-cheeked type thrush seen this afternoon
(Thursday), Chaoyan and I also saw a Worm-eating Warbler on the hill above
Rick's Place, a Blackburnian along Prospect Park W, a Blue-winged Warbler
at the bird bathing spot viewed from the bridge between the pools and
ravine areas, and two Blue-headed Vireos among others. Also lots of
Parulas and Blackpolls and several American Redstarts.
