I've posted the most recent group of LBRC reports to the LOS/LBRC
website. All reports I've received to date are posted. This has been the
busiest fall and winter for rarities I can remember, with a high volume of
reports and photos sent in. With all of the copy, pasting, and uploading
involved, I'm sure I've made some mistakes. If you've sent in a report
recently, please check the site for errors, and to make sure that I haven't
overlooked your report. If you still have reports to send in, I'll post
them as soon as I can.
Thanks,

I suspect that if eBird ranked states by prty-hrs, our winter totals would be ahead of all but the most heavily birded states. ***************************** Dr. J. V. Remsen Prof. of Natural Science and Curator of Birds Museum of Natural Science/Dept. Biological Sciences LSU, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 najamesSubject: Shreveport Calliope, AMRE, WIWA- no show 2-2-12 Huge thickets to east/ precise directions. From: Terry Davis <trdavis22 AT YAHOO.COM> Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2012 20:32:00 -0800 I arrived at the location at 0710 t Hi Labirders and local birders, I arrived at the location at 0710 this morning. None of the expected three showed after over two hours of waiting. I did not use playback or Eastern Screech-Owl tape to elicit responses. I've only used it on scattered few occasions at this locality over the years. The absence of the three prompted me to do some exploring for a very short time afterward. I found that the line of vegetation comprising the alleyway thicket runs approx 0.5 miles east to near Kings Highway. It begins at my usual viewing point, then runs southeast behind the few houses west of Alexander on the south side of E Stephenson. From there it connects and follows a large concreted bayou/drainage ditch- this curving in and around from the southwest, then east/northeast just south of Centenary Campus toward Kings Highway. This shelterbelt of habitat is broken in bits and pieces here and there where streets cross. It widens into an immense thicket of two or more acres a little over two hundred yards to the east of my survey area. This is close and somewhat viewable from a vacant lot on the west side of Alexander between E Stephenson and E Linden. I don't know who who owns the land but it appears to be a no-man's land. I'm guessing the city owns the land along the canal. The thicket is comprised of much cherry laurel and scattered larger oaks with lots of mixed vines covering portions of the understory. This thicket-lined canal is also reachable off Kings Highway at the dead end of Woodlawn St and Holly St. There is also quite a few thickets and large bamboo clumps to the north of my survey area off Gladstone and Centenary Circle. Of course, being an older neighborhood, there are numerous large trees and shrubs as well. After finally realizing the extent of the habitat, I feel we were EXTREMELY lucky to have all three of the birds there at once. Then again, there's no doubt other un-found wonders lurking along this line. I saw lots of smaller usual wintering suspects such as White-throated Sparrow and Yellow-rumped Warbler, also 2 adult Red-tailed Hawk and 1 juvenile. I plan further probing of this line of awesome inner-city habitat. Runningmap is an awesome tool but beware using it in this particular instance. The overgrown alleyway behind the residence which figures in greatly concerning the presence of the birds (at least AMRE,WIWA), is actually a continuation of E Stephenson st, which shows as continuing to Wheeless to the west. Currently, E. Stephenson only continues a little over a tenth of a mile east of Alexander before it becomes the closed off alleyway. It also does not show that the next street to the south which curves to the south shortly east of wheeless is also Stephenson St. It's an odd situation, but the street name changes from Stephenson to Madison Park as it curves south, approximately 1 block east of Wheeless. To clear something up- The golden-cane-filled ravine at my survey area is also viewable from Gladstone on the south side of the street between 205 Gladstone and 142 Centenary Circle- not Forest....\-: The cane thicket begins 200 or more feet south of the rd here, though. It's still a good area to include in the search and can be seen fairly well from the street with binoculars. Good birding, TerrySubject: Rusty Blackbirds - Eros Quad, Feb 2, 2012 From: Stephen Pagans <slp_4-7 AT ATT.NET> Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2012 18:21:15 -0800 For my first WBA entry in this quad, I logged 4 hr 35 min and 37 species. Timing is everything but luck also helps. I was driving past a pasture when I found a large flock of blackbirds. I pulled into someone's driveway and looked at them. It was to my recollection, the largest flock of Rusty Blackbirds that I have found. I took five side by side pictures to capture them, but they were steadily moving so I had to estimate to get the number. I will probably try to count the birds in my photos to see if there were more (or less). Within minutes of finding them, they left the pasture. In midstream of taking pictures, a lady came down the driveway in her vehicle. I had her driveway at least halfway blocked but she could get by. She gave me a quasi-questioning look. I apologized for blocking her driveway which she said was okay -- maybe half-hearted. The blocking of her driveway was worth it to get to see the Rusty Blackbirds.

Total should be 24 hr and 16 min and 53 species. I went back to this quad today to try to find a bird I heard yesterday but failed. Yesterday I heard what sounded like a Spotted Towhee call. It was near my truck as I pulled off the road. I heard it call several times, and it was definitely not like the normal Eastern Towhee call. I should have hung my Birdjam out my truck window and tried to call it. Instead, I got out of my truck (with all those somewhat uncomfortable noises) and then tried to call it to me. However, after getting out of my truck, I could tell that it was a lot further away from me. I never got it to come back. I didn't want to count it without seeing it. Right at that same spot today, I got a one or two second glimpse of a Northern Harrier which was lucky since it was new to the quad. After this effort I moved on to the Eros quad next door.

I'm VERY glad Hubert and I decided to go back into the back yard and play Eastern Screech-Owl at the last minute- just as we were about to leave! Shreveport East Quad, Caddo, US-LA Feb 1, 2012 8:20 AM - 10:20 AM Protocol: Traveling 0.1 mile(s) Comments: 2 observers, 2 hours, .1 miles. Clear, 65 degrees, calm. Birded with Hubert Hervey. Stationary and walking entire half-acre yard both front and back + alleyway behind house, including birds from adjacent yards- as usual during survey of this area. We began hearing the Calliope's short "chip" (or faintly sibilant "tsip" when close)-calls first, then it showed not long after we arrived. It began feeding low, only a few (anywhere from 10-30 feet away from us), beginning in a low flowering pink sassanqua that was right in front of us. Both the quince and Sassanquah are no more than 3.5, maybe 4 feet tall. The bird probed flowers from inches off the ground to to 2 or 3' high but never much higher, both obscured within the shrub and less frequently around the outer edges. It perched both low and at 10-12 feet. It was observed perching at MANY perches,both low and high, both obscured in leaves and rather open and exfoliate- and never seemed to return to a single favorite perch. It perched once in the top of a large Arborvitae. It fed at the quince only for a short while, quickly returning to the Sassanqua. It was also observed perching frequently and almost directly above us in a snowball viburnum. Strangely, it was never observed going high into the trees today and frequently moved low wherever it relocated, unlike when first observed yesterday in the tops of the crape myrtles. The call sounds similar to a junco smack at any distance with the faintly sibilant sound not penetrating well. This makes me wonder whether the bird had just arrived when I first heard it the day before, as I'd heard juncos all day that day. Whatever the case, I hope Paul can get some good data from the little dude! 31 species Killdeer 2 high E/S Mourning Dove 4 much calling. Calliope Hummingbird 1 Female or possible hy male. Observed at close range on and off for 10 to 15 minutes or so approx 20 minutes after we arrived- perched at several locations, flying and feeding. The calls closely match Dan Lane's Xenocanto recordings- in not sounding quite so chirpy and sweet, slightly drier than Stokes recording. The calls are higher and thinner than Selasphorus. We did hear the bird giving them in more of a morse-code-like series on a couple of occasions today but mostly as single or double chips or somewhat evenly spaced in longer series. This bird is very pale below and lacks hardly any buff-tinge other than faintly in lower flanks. The tail appears very short and appears to have only a faint bit of Rufous on inner webs- but this was hard to see this time. The outer rectrices appear broad, blunt, very short and noticeably white-tipped. One or possibly more of the inner rectrices appeared to be possibly missing, as a small notch to the side of the center of tail appeared to show. A dark thin crescent in front of the eye, this curving toward the eye, was seen very well as the bird fed close by with feathers sleeked back, but was hard to see when at rest as the bird would raise all feathers on the head, including those around the bill and near eye. The bill is short and faintly de-curved, although seemed faintly long in comparison to some field guide pics. I did find Calliope pictures elsewhere that closely matched. The bird looks very short and dumpy but not noticeably hunched when resting. The throat shows faint stippled lines although this was faint in comparison to some figures studied of the spp. There appeared to be a couple of dark feathers random, without pattern, coming in at sides of throat, although this may have been feathers missing/out of place. The calls did not sound right for Anna's and the bird appeared much too small and pale below (except maybe Anna's hyf) but it could have almost passed for a much-too-small short-tailed imm female. The voice was not right for Anna's Voice, bill shape and lack of diffuse white line extending behind eye down side of neck eliminated Costa's. The bird appeared to be a solid, but cold green overall above, with more of a bluish tinge if anything than warmish bronze/green. Again, this appears to be a very dull-plumaged Calliope! Red-bellied Woodpecker 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 2 Downy Woodpecker 3 Blue Jay 5 Including the Mississippi Kite wannabe (actually sounds as good or better than some MIKI, although not quite so carrying). I had 2 American Crow the previous evening-first there in a LONG time) Carolina Chickadee 2 Tufted Titmouse 1 parids scarce lately White-breasted Nuthatch 1 Giving murmuring "social"? or feeding calls and crawling all over the top branches of the large oak above us. Carolina Wren 4 much singing- missed the WIWR today. Golden-crowned Kinglet 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2 American Robin 20 Gray Catbird 1- gave a single cat-call and several descending, BLJA-like "tseeuwn" calls in the alley Northern Mockingbird 2 Brown Thrasher 6 + Six seen at once with four in crape myrtle in yard and two higher in alleyway trees at once. Much calling, also singing from two males. European Starling 6 Cedar Waxwing 5 Orange-crowned Warbler 1 green-headed adult. Foraging much in the Calliope's favorite Sassanqua American Redstart 1 Beautiful asy male. Responded to E. Screech-Owl played very low with chips and was quickly observed thereafter in the center of the golden cane thicket near the bottom of the gully in the alley when it rose into a leafless tree 150 feet away. Came in very close, sometimes sitting almost perfectly still, then resuming foraging fairly low across a network of Cocculus and Wisteria vines. The contrast of color in the bare gray vines against a green cane background was spectacular. Yellow-rumped Warbler 1 also very scarce lately here. Missed the PIWA. Wilson's Warbler 1 Began chipping in the alleyway about the time of the Calliope sighting again. Chipped loudly and series in succession during EASO playback but remained furtive in the undergrowth. Hubert had a good look at it once as it relocated near a large log before disappearing. Eastern Towhee 1 Alleyway- gave one or two good chewinks and several long, buzzy "tszeeueee" locative notes. White-throated Sparrow 8 Loosely strung gp in the alleyway, probably a very low count taking amout of "pink" "tseet" and "flipflipflipflip..." calls heard. Dark-eyed Junco 20 + when walking into the backyard the second time, flushing up from near rose garden. Northern Cardinal 6 most f in cane thicket. Red-winged Blackbird 2 males, flyby Common Grackle 12 1500 or so stringing west around 5 p.m. on late visit to hang more feeders.

Usually the latter, but at times when their habitats (which are
different and generally separate them) are in close proximity such as
Sprague's on levees in the middle of fields that are good for Americans, you
can sometimes see them "mixing." Sprague's are usually found in singles or
very small groups, so at best you might see one or two Sprague's working the
same area as Americans, not a flock of a lot of one and a lot of the other.
I've seen a lot of Sprague's, but have only rarely seen the two species
mixed together. They don't travel together; Sprague's are usually very
faithful to an area, while Americans are more nomadic.

Like the rest of south Louisiana, we are having a great winter hummingbird season, and I have paint marked a bunch of hummingbirds around Lafayette. I ran across town to pay Ed a visit and see if we could catch the hummer. To my surprise, it was not one of mine. It was an immature male Rufous that was banded by Fred Bassett in Atmore, AL, on January 11th. Fred said he has been having a great winter of banding hummingbirds as well and that a bunch of their hummers were starting to pull out. So keep your eye out for more hummingbirds moving through as we get to the end of winter.

An Orange Crowned Warbler also liked to feed there. The Wilson's Warbler is more difficult to locate, and doesn't respond much, located across what was once an alley. The American Redstart male was a special treat, responded with chips and approaches to screech owl tape played judiciously. You will need to contact Terry for assistance and particulars.

It will begin at 7:00 AM in the parking lot. Winter birds should still be in residence. We'll look for Winter Wren, Brown Creeper, Golden Crowned Kinglet, Myrtle, Pine and Orange-crowned Warblers, and Sparrows. It's also nesting season for owls and hawks, so there's a chance of seeing those in action. If interested in birding with other enthusiasts, please meet us in the parking lot a little before starting time. As usual, the admission fees need to be paid before you depart the area. For most people, the admission charge is $3.00. I hope to see you here. --Jane Patterson February 11 -- Wintering Baton Rouge Water Birds Join us for a quick perusal of the various water fowl and other birds that spend the winter in Baton Rouge around the LSU, City Park, and Capitol Lakes. We will certainly see ducks such as Hooded Mergansers, Canvasbacks, Ruddy Ducks, and the more common Lesser Scaup and Ring-necked Ducks. But we might be lucky and catch a glimpse of a Peregrine Falcon, a Roseate Spoonbill, or an American White Pelican. We will meet at 12:30pm at the entrance of the LSU Museum on Natural Science in Foster Hall on Dalrymple Dr. on the LSU campus. From there we will car pool to various vantage points around the lakes.

My understanding is that Van is writing one on the LSU Museum and Lowery etc. My questions/request for information: 1. In the early Auks there are short notes by a variety of men living in the New Orleans area such as Gustave Kohn. I want to hunt down information about these people. Do any of you living in the New Orleans area have any contacts with people at the historical society or any ideas where to look for such information? 2.

AND Baton Rouge Vaux's Swifts From: Jay V Huner <jvh0660 AT LOUISIANA.EDU> Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 07:38:27 -0600 I encourage people to set up ebird accounts and wish I'd done it when the system became available. It's a wonderful way to enter data even if you have birding software. I subscribe to the rare bird alerts option. It only tells you about birds not already on your ebird state life list. So, if you are chasing rare birds but already have the bird, the only way you'll find out about the species is to check for reports through ebird's species' map option, find it reported on LABIRD, or have someone who tells you about the bird. Anyway, I received to reports of a Trumpeter Swan at City Park in New Orleans last week. Figured the bird was probably a released bird from a collector but never saw mention of it on LABIRD. Asked Glenn O. about it and he said he hadn't heard about it. Anyone know about the swan? And, what about the Baton Rouge Vaux's Swifts? I'd get an ebird alert for that species and have yet to receive one for the 11-12 winter. Jay HunerSubject: Hummingbird in Shreveport- probable Calliope female From: Terry Davis <trdavis22 AT YAHOO.COM> Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:15:05 -0800 Hi all, If this place isn't another Patagonia, then I don't know what is................ While working in the 200 block of stephenson around 2 p.m., I heard a distant chip that sounded a little dry but I passed it off as a Pine Warbler. Shortly afterward, I heard the chipping closer to me- also closer-strung in a series. It sounded somewhat like a Rufous/Allen's but higher and thinner, with shorter individual notes as "tip......... tip tip tip tip tip tip..........tip tip" I got up and spied the tiny hummingbird in the top of a leafless crape myrtle. Bare-eyed it appeared notably nubby. When relocating, the head/bill looked nubby too but I never was able to get a good look at the bill. I didn't have the bins handy so I stood there and watched as the bird moved back and forth between two large crape myrtles, fly-catching and seemingly gleaning something from the very tips of the top branches at around 40 feet. It dropped lower to the west to the east side of the neighbors yard and landed in a small leafless peach, then flew across the yard and rose even higher to around 60 feet near the top of the large oak. It also perched briefly in the flowering dogwood. It was observed low on the move again, then disappeared. I called Jeff who showed up 20 minutes or so later. We looked for 20 minutes or so but the bird didn't show. Jeff left and I went back to work. While moving some things over the back fence around 3:50 or so, I heard it again- and this time the bins were handy. I spied the bird to my left nectaring (or seemingly so) at a flowering quince tucked in behind some azaleas. The bird was very greenish above. The tail looked short and it appeared dumpy, although did not seem so rotund and pot-bellied as the females I saw in Baton Rouge at Carol Foil's place. It also lacked the notable pale rufescent wash at the sides. With brief views, I thought I saw a faint bit of rufescent in the outer rectrices, though. I still was not able to obtain satisfactory views of the bill. It flew toward the rose garden and momentarily appeared to go toward the bird bath but perched in a rose. I called Jeff who returned shortly later with a perky pet (little starter?) small feeder. We hung the feeder in a fig next to the quince and waited. We watched for the bird for about 45 minutes but it didn't return. We both left around 5 p.m. Paul Dickson called me earlier in the day after my message was relayed to him and gave me instructions on best feeder placement. I placed the feeder next to the house under the overhang before leaving. I also mentioned to him that the birds calls matched the sound but not the cadence of Calliope as hear on Stokes- which gives more of a morse code effect. He informed me that was more typical of a call given when agitated. Thinking on it, the birds at Carol Foil's house and an almost certain heard-only a earlier at Dave Patton's did not have this morse code effect. I hope the bird lingers and Paul can ring it and get some data. I can't guarantee it- in the name of reserving my client's privacy- but I hope to be able to let others come and view as well. She has given the go-ahead for the banding. The Wilson's Warbler began chipping in the alleyway right about the time of the second viewing, chipping here and there while Jeff was there. That was the first time I'd heard it today. It appears the American Redstart WAS a 2-3 minute wonder, although it may still be around as well! I'll keep y'all updated as I'm able.

Clear, cool, wind 12-15+ n. Began survey after gaining permission to walk a cattle pasture/small pond and thickets beyond, which lay behind a house in the middle of town. It looked good from the road for possible White-crowned Sparrow, etc and appeared to be low out of the wind. However, the second part of that wasn't entirely true..................... I then birded a small portion of 389/109 and 389 east. No birds to be seen other than the kettle of Vultures, several EABL and AMRO and the BHNU.

I birded portions of 389 to n and west, then 109 south, Bill Doyle, Clay Pit, Hyatt Cemetery, and unmarked rd to north of 109 for 1 mile between Bill Doyle and Hyatt Cemetery. Got the woodcocks displaying early, House Wren nos were really high. Other than that it was fairly slow. I took an hour a break, rested and ate before continuing survey for p.m. portion. The wind shut me down quickly thereafter. 45 species Turkey Vulture 7 Red-shouldered Hawk 1 Red-tailed Hawk 2 cutover on 389 in curve near "town" American Kestrel 1 f/cutover also.

Much thanks to Mary Henry of Boggy Creek farm for allowing me in to survey the area. I was able to add Merlin, Sprague's Pipit, 6 of 12!! LOSH for the day and a large group of 124 ad White Ibis. While most of the farm is flat, it was odd to see them feeding high and dry in a short-grass cattle pasture on a hill in the south portion of the farm. 71 species (+1 other taxa) Canada Goose 12 ferals, seemed slimmish/ wary,. 7 at Lonnie Cole pond, 5 on 190 small pond. The pond at Lonnie Cole held some interesting birds- for the quad, anyway.

Cardiff" <scardif AT GMAIL.COM> Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:02:10 -0600 Labird-
Dittmann and I had fairly grandiose SW LA quadding plans for the
weekend, but I ended up nursing a cold and we got a late start on Saturday.
Soooo, Plan B was "keep it simple and selfish" trying to enhance the
species list for our favorite Thornwell Quad (not to mention that Duson and
a few other Southern Interior Quads were starting to get a little too close
for comfort......).
It was pretty windy on Saturday afternoon, but we concentrated on the
sheltered sides of a few of the nicer hedgerows in the vicinity of
Thornwell and drove a few roads, managing 72 species in about 3.5 party
hours. Highlights were:
Black-crowned Night-Heron 17 (new for quad for LWBA)
Crested Caracara 2 (near Potter X Marceaux)
Short-eared Owl 2 (new- stakeout from Lac-Thorn CBC)
Vermilion Flycatcher 1
Sprague's Pipit 2
Lapland Longspur 2 (new- both heard calling overhead)
Chipping Sparrow 15 (new)
Clay-colored Sparrow 2 (new- one w/CHSP and FISP at Thornwell, one along
Marceaux Road N of Thornwell)
Dickcissel 1 (new- Thornwell)
Bronzed Cowbird 1 (Thornwell)
On Sunday we put in a full day in the SW and W portions of the quad,
mainly near Hwy. 14 X 99, at Coto Plot, and along Watkins Road N to Niblett
Road (which is just outside the north edge of the quad until Niblett turns
SW and runs through extreme NW corner of Thornwell quad). Sunday
highlights (115 species from 9:50 party hours):
Green-winged Teal- one all-white bird with other GWTE E of Watkins Road N
of Cherokee
Ruddy Duck 12 (new for quad)
Bald Eagle 1 imm (Coto Plot)
Crested Caracara 2 (probably same two as previous day, this time on
Marceaux just E of Hwy. 99)
American Avocet 6 (same place several were seen on Lac-Thorn CBC 12/16/11)
Bonaparte's Gull 2 (with roosting flock of almost 5000 Ring-billed Gulls
and 800 Laughing Gulls at Coto Plot).
White-winged Dove 1
Barn Owl 1 (apparently new for quad, although I could swear that we've had
it before- must check old lists).
Least Flycatcher 1 (Watkins just south of Cherokee)
Say's Phoebe 1 (new; stake-out along Niblett Road dating to 10/28/11; here,
Niblett Road is in the Welsh South quad, but the SAPH was a ways off to
south inside the Thornwell quad......)
Vermilion Flycatcher 1 (a dull imm. female at SAPH location)
Dark-eyed Junco 4 (new)
Some other impressive single party totals of commoner species included 668
Black-necked Stilts, 8300 Long-billed Dowitchers, and 5 Wilson's Warblers.
Could not find the stakeout Green-tailed Towhee or Great Kiskadee on
Niblett, nor a Lac-Thorn CBC stakeout Spotted Towhee at Coto Plot.
We ended up with 123 species for the 1.5 days, and 10 species new for the
quad, which should bring it up to 158. At the moment, only three Coastal
Zone quads have more species: Triumph (177), Cameron (161), and LaPlace
(160).
Cheers,
Steve Cardiff

Rough conditions prevented us from going offshore unfortunately. Mac will post our trip list along the river. We stopped at Peveto Woods Sanctuary on the way home. Paul found a Spotted Towhee and we put a list together for Peveto Beach Quad. It included our ride back along the beach until the eastern limit of the quad. Winds had finally died down and conditions calmed offshore. Too late for our boat trip, but it did allow is to see the huge rafts of scaup offshore. We found one Surf Scoter among a group of scaup just out from the beach.

I would guess that the male is a winterer. Quite a lot of the winterers have moved around this year. A young male Ruby-throated that I banded at Casa Colibrí on 17 December stayed through 23 December, but he was caught 11 January in Tallahassee, Florida. This has not been a big year for Ruby-throateds wintering though we have documented several long-time returnees. A wintering adult male Ruby-throated will look rather 'average', handsome, but not especially brilliant. A newly arrived 'spring' migrant will appear very bright and shiny. I think the earliest I've seen a bona fide spring migrant is 24 February.

I added nine species today. I ran out of steam this afternoon. Of note for me, I heard what sounded like a Common Ground Dove calling. I tried to get close to it but it seemed to be about 100 yards off the main road near a house. It was not a real nice setting so I hesitated going any closer. The next time I am in that vicinity, I will listen for it. I compared the call to all the doves on my Birdjam, and the Common Ground Dove was the best match. While in the vicinity of the bird over at least a 20 to 30 minute span, it must have called 20+ times. I wanted to see the bird before counting it.

LA to BR, I glimpsed a very dark hawk along I-20 between the Start and Rayville exits. Seen at around 65 mph thru the windshield and drivers' window, it appeared to be uniformly dark from the head down to the tip of the tail, which may have had some white or much lighter color, right at the end. It was on the north side of the highway, perched about 20 feet up in small trees in an old field /overgrown cow pasture close to the interstate. It looked to be about the size and shape of a Red-tailed, maybe a bit smaller. Hard to judge. I guess it could have been a Marsh Hawk, and I've seen both male and female Marsh Hawks in that area, but something about it said "buteo". I made a point of glancing over in that direction because I'd glimpsed a very dark buteo-looking hawk in that spot last year, but wasn't able to refind it the next day when I passed by again. I regret not mentioning it then, and suppose I am making amends now. Anyone up in N. LA who wants to check it out, it was about halfway between where Boeuf River flows under I-20, and the Rayville exit. The interstate exits are several miles apart there (Rayville to Start) , so it will be difficult to pass by and come back around. Coming from the west (Monroe), I'd start looking real hard once you pass by Boeuf River/Boeuf River CC/Golf Course visible on the left/north side. There's a little pond/cypress slough, and then a pasture or 2 before you come to the Rayville exit on the right. Start looking hard there, on the north side, once you pass by that little cypress pond on the east side of the golf course. Coming from the Rayville side, I'd start looking on the right real hard once you pass that new service road that goes along the interstate on the north side, right after the big truck stop. When you get to the golf course, you've gone too far. I'd be willing to bet it's hunting critters along the interstate ROW. If anyone sees it from the highway and is intrigued enough to try for a less hazardous look, that property could be accessed (with landowner permission of course) via what I always called the New Gin Road. It's the road that leads to Boeuf River Country Club and Golf Course. I don't know who owns the property, but when I was a teenager it was a popular nighttime parking spot. Good luck, and anyone who attempts to re-find it, I'd be interested in what you come up with.

I did 10 hrs in the Natchitoches Parish portion, all Red River valley with mature cypress along the various bayous and lots of pecan orchards. The rest of the quad contains part of Kisatchie and urban habitat (town of Montgomery) if anyone's interested in doing 10 hours and adding to the species list. Very birdy early with 73 species in the first 7.2 miles. Highlights were 12 Sandhill Crane, Merlin, Sprague's Pipit, and 21 Western Meadowlark. Lots of ag fields but missed Horned Lark and longspurs, presumably because so little of the ag fields is bare ground. But who knows? Good day anyway.

Thanks for continuing to send all your sightings for inclusion in the LA
winter hummingbird database! Louisiana hummingbird observations or
corrections can be sent to HUMNET, LABIRD, or me (Erik Johnson, ejohn33 AT
lsu.edu). Historic western winter hummingbird annual summaries can be
found on the Louisiana Ornithological Society website (www.losbird.org).
When reporting your hummingbirds, please provide the following information:
Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.
If additional information is learned through further observation or banding
or if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll
make the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible,
when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been
banded and marked.
Happy hummingbirding!

Judith O'NealeSubject: Cool Hummers From: "Harvey L. Patten" <puffin AT BELLSOUTH.NET> Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:14:00 -0600 Labirders - I can't begin to compete with Michael Seymore, but yesterday Linda Beall banded two Imm. M. Calliopes that have been at my place for awhile and two new Imm Rufous. Of my 13 wintering hummers since October Linda has banded 10. I have had an adult female here all winter, but this morning at 7:00 a.m. an adult male Ruby-throat appeared. Over-winterer or FOSpring migrant? Harvey L. Patten CovingtonSubject: Bluebonnet Bird Monitoring Update 29-Jan-2012 From: jared wolfe <jdwolfe80 AT YAHOO.COM> Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2012 10:09:36 -0800  The BLUEBONNET BIRD MONITORING PROJECT UPDATE 29-JANUARY-2012  The Bluebonnet Bird Monitoring Project’s second peer-reviewed publication, detailing novel plumage transitions in Indigo Bunting, was recently published in Western Birds (you can download it here: http://braudubon.org/pdf/wolfe-and-pyle-indigo-bunting-molt.pdf).  Yesterday’s banding at Bluebonnet Swamp was moderately slow but punctuated by interesting captures and sightings. Birds captured included Winter Wren, Hermit Thrush, Brown Thrasher, White-throated Sparrow, Carolina Chickadee, Carolina Wren and Northern Cardinal. Audio-visual surveys documented the following species:  American Crow American Robin Barred Owl Blue Jay Brown Thrasher Calliope Hummingbird Canada Goose Carolina Chickadee Carolina Wren Cedar Waxwing Downy Woodpecker Fish Crow Gray Catbird Hermit Thrush Herring Gull Mourning Dove Northern Cardinal Northern Flicker Northern Mockingbird Orange-crowned Warbler Pileated Woodpecker Red-bellied Woodpecker Red-Shouldered Hawk Red-winged Blackbird Ring-billed Gull Ruby-crowned Kinglet Rufous Hummingbird Sharp-shinned Hawk Tufted Titmouse White-throated Sparrow Winter Wren Wood Duck Yellow-rumped Warbler  Thanks to all the volunteers for helping make yesterday a success: Sinead Borchert, Kristin Brzeski, Emma DeLeon, John Hartgerink, Eric Liffmann, Falyn Owens, Debbie Percy, Jerry Seagle, Stehpen Shipman, Eric Stary and Jared Wolfe.
