Maureen and all, Thank you for sharing. Very interesting and encouraging to an aging not-so-expert birder. But before we all congratulate ourselves on the superior qualities of some portions of our gray matter, be sure to read the caveats toward the end of the article...then go out and have some bodacious birding despite the heat. (And remember to put the MBS Fall Meeting September 25-27 in Columbia on your calendar.)
