Hi Birders,
This evening we went birding south of Offutt to La Platte Bottoms.
At the entrance to the Base Lake there was a Bell’s Vireo singing.
There was a singing Blue Grosbeak where the railroad tracks cross Harlan Lewis Road and another singing by the bridge over the Papio Creek.
At the Bottoms, there were 5 Great Blue Herons and a pair of Redhead Ducks in the flooded area on the north side of Highway 34.

Subject: RE: [NEBirds] RE: it's the middle of July - so ........... |
As explained in BONO (URL in my signature block below), genetic studies show very little difference among the redpolls. However what is holding up a decision to lump the redpolls by AOS is that there is some evidence of assortative mating among N. American redpolls ie they tend to choose their own kind, which tends to amplify differences between them.

Hi Matt (and others),
To answer your question “Have I read any recent studies” the answer is: no, not personally, but neither do I make these decisions. But the people (i.e. committee member(s)) who did, site the following references along with a brief summary of their conclusion that included previous committee opinions:
“Lesser Redpoll A. cabaret is split from Common Redpoll A. flammea. So doing renders taxonomic status of A. cabaret equivalent to A. hornemanni pending future analyses (Knox 2001, Ottvall et al. 2002, Marthinsen et al.. 2008, Mason & Taylor 2015, BOU, H&M4, NACC 2017-B-7)”
As to “why all the fuss”: well that’s because most birders keep lists of species that they have seen and they want to see those lists continue to grow, not shrink. That part of it is a game that most of us play, but these Committees are mostly comprised of professional ornithologists who are voicing their opinions based on the best genetic and reproductive evidence at their disposal.
Hope that this answers your query; if not, shoot me another reply.
All the best,

Hi everyone,
I took a walk along the upland trails in Fontenelle Forest this past week
where the mosquitoes were so thick and thirsty that I literally was attcked
by swarms of them every time I stopped to look at a bird. While I heard an
Acadian Flycatcher and 2-3 Yellow-billed Cuckoos, many Wood Thrushes other
usual suspects, there was nothing to post about. Great hike and workout
though!
I have been going thru the most recent iteration of the 2018 IOC
(International Ornithologists Committee) World checklist updates and
discovered a couple of things that may be of interest locally. Turns out
that the IOC, but not the ASO/ABA has now accepted the un-lumping of the
Yellow-rumped Warbler complex. This means that YRWA now 'splits/unlumps'
into: Myrtle and Audubon's Warblers locally. And for those who care, the
non-migratory Guatemalan (former race) of YRWA is elevated to full species
status as Goldstein's Warbler, but that the non-migratory Mexican (S.
nigafrons) Warbler remains a race of Audubon's Warbler. If history is any
indication, it is likely that the two Societies will agree with this
decision within a year or two.
Another IOC decision that may interest some NEBirders, especially those who
venture to foreign lands like Minnesota J in the wintertime is that the IOC
not only has refused to endorse he lumping of Com. & Hoary (aka Arctic)
Redpolls, but actually split off a race of Redpoll (the Lesser Redpoll,
which is a resident of upland areas of Britain and the Czech & Slovakia
Republics of mainland Europe). I personally find this interesting because
the argument of whether or not to lump the Redpolls has been going on since
I was a grad student in the mid-1970's and it looks like it won't happen any
time soon.
Stay cool everyone.

Subject: [NEBirds] July 07 Norfolk area |
Nebraska birders,
On July 07, Lanny and I spent a little more time birding in the
Norfolk area before heading for home. Below are the highlights:
Northern Bobwhite
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
Lesser Yellowlegs
Kriderâs Red-tailed Hawk
Black-capped Chickadee
Bobolink
Indigo Bunting
We did some county listing in Wayne County at the Hoskins
sewage lagoons and cemetery. Both are good birding areas.
At the sewage lagoon, we saw a Bobolink. At the cemetery,
we heard and saw a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and a Black-capped
Chickadee. This seems to be a good year for cuckoos.
I mention the chickadee because we donât see them in our part
of Nebraska.
We saw a Kriderâs Red-tail along 853 Road between 558 and 559
Avenues. It was perched on a power pole. Nearby, we heard
and saw an Indigo Bunting.
In Pierce County, we saw ten Lesser Yellowlegs in a flooded field
a little east of Pierce.
For the two days Lanny added ten species to his Wayne County
life list for a new total of 57 and I added nine species for
a new total of 59. Lanny added two to his Pierce County list
for a new total is 73. I added one species to Pierce County
for a new total of 76.

Subject: [NEBirds] Madison County 7/6/18 |
Hello Nebraska birders,
ebird
Friday, July 6, Robin and I looked around Madison County for birds,
with Dave Heidt's expert guidance. Dave not only helped us find the
birds that we needed but he is very entertaining. Hold still and I
will show you a list of highlights followed by details.
Ruddy Duck (2)Northern Bobwhite (several)Wild Turkey (some)Green Heron
(2)Broad-winged Hawk (1)Willow Flycatcher (1)Eastern Phoebe (1)Red-eyed
Vireo (1)Black-capped Chickadee (1)Eastern Bluebird (1)
Lark Sparrow (1)Grasshopper Sparrow (1)Swamp Sparrow (some)Bobolink
(1)Great-tailed Grackle (1)Indigo Bunting (1)
Near Yellowbanks WMA we heard a Northern Bobwhite. At Yellowbanks we
identified a Willow Flycatcher, saw some Wild Turkeys, saw an Eastern
Phoebe, two Green Herons, an Eastern Bluebird, heard and saw a
Red-eyed Vireo, a Grasshopper Sparrow, an Indigo Bunting and some
Swamp Sparrows. Also there Robin and Dave heard a Yellow-billed
Cuckoo. Near Meadow Grove we saw some Bobolinks. At Ueker Lake near
Battle Creek we saw two Ruddy Ducks. In Norfolk at the Wall Mart
parking lot we saw a Great-tailed Grackle. At the Lutheran Cemetery
on Maple Robin and Dave saw a Broad-winged Hawk. In southeastern
Pierce County we saw and heard a Lark Sparrow.
Robin added five birds to her Madison County list for a new total of
129. I also added five birds to my Madison County list for a new
total of 125. Robin will probably post soon about our adventures in
Pierce and Wayne Counties the next day. Robin's new Madison County
birds were the Willow flycatcher, the Wild Turkeys, the Ruddy Ducks,
the Broad-winged Hawk and the Great-tailed Grackle. My new Madison
County birds were the Wild Turkeys, the Swamp Sparrows, the Ruddy
Ducks, the Great-tailed Grackle and Blue-winged Teal.
May your birds be lifers and your troubles temporary.
good birding and goodbye,
Lanny

Hi Elliott,
Yes I gather up your sightings from NEBIRDS for Seasonal Reports. I think I
get at least 95% of my data now from eBird!
Keep sending to NEBIRDS- your reports are good value.

HI Ross,
We just got back from two weeks in northern Europe and am just now catching
up with emails. I think that you already know that I DO NOT list on ebird,
but wanted to reiterate that.

Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder to type "ebird" or "no ebird" on your NEBIRDS
sighting reports. I'm working on the Spring Seasonal Report (March-May) for
Neb Bird Review and having those notations allows me to comb through and put
on my spreadsheet the non-eBird March-May reports much more quickly, since I
download what's on eBird anyway.
Much appreciated,
Ross

Subject: [NEBirds] Late sightings report |
No eBird
We were in Colorado visiting family and decided to bird the southern row of counties from west to Nuckolls County on Monday and Tuesday. I rarely get that far south so it was easy to add several species to all of those County lists. Below are a few highlights:
July 9th:
Perkins County:
Great-tailed Grackle
Lark Bunting
Burrowing Owl (west of Grant in a prairie dog village at the se intersection of hwy 23 &
326 Rd.)
Grasshopper Sparrow
Chase County:
Grasshopper Sparrow
Great-tailed Grackle
Blue Grosbeak
Black-crowned Night Heron (in a nearly dry irrigation pond hole along Hwy 61 @
N40 33 22, W101 37 43)
Dundy County:
Rock Creek SRA:
Grasshopper Sparrow
Brewer’s Blackbird
Warbling Vireo
Bell’s Vireo - at least 5
Harlan County:
Reservoir:
Great Blue Heron - 25+
Wood Duck - 6
Franklin’s Gull - 120+/-
Blue Grosbeak
Eastern Towhee
Eastern Wood Peewee
Catbird
Bell’s Vireo
Nuckolls County:
Eastern Wood Peewee
Purple Martin
Ovenbird
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
I also reached #11 Killdeer and #12 Red-winged Blackbird in all 93 counties in Nuckolls)

Subject: [NEBirds] Green Heron nest-Sarpy County |
Played golf this morning, as usual. Heading down to the first tee at Tregaron GC, I saw a Green Heron fly by with nesting material. She landed in a Crab Apple tree right by the front door. After my round, went and checked on her and found her still working on the nest. Nearest water is almost a half mile away. In past years, I have found them nesting in a honey locust grove near the #11 tee box. Again, close to a half mile from water, but in a quieter, more isolated spot than by the front door.

Subject: [NEBirds] July 05 Platte Co |
Nebraska birders,
On Thursday, July 05, Lanny and I were traveling to Norfolk.
We stopped at the Duncan sewage lagoons (Platte Co.) for a
quick look. The only birds on the water was a small flock of
Redheads. We saw three adult males and nine female/immature.
I must admit that I didnât try very hard to positively ID the
female/immature ducks. Since they were the only ducks on the
lagoon and they were swimming around together, I assumed they
were all the same species.
We also stopped in Platte County at Lakes North and Babcock.
There were some people fishing and boating so there were not
many birds. In the park on the north side of the lakes were
15 white Snow Geese and 4 blue morphs. We drove around the
dike between the lakes and saw six Black Terns, seven Forsterâs
Terns, an adult Bald Eagle and Great Blue Herons.
ebird - Yes

Did a "walkabout" primarily through Dodge County from 5:45 to 10:30 AM
hoping to add to my pitiful 27 county tics. 61 species for the day-though
none of note. Added 42 species in Dodge and 2 in Saunders when I tried
for the WW Dove as a year bird. No luck with visual or auditory evidence
of the WWDO and the heat index finally drove back to Council Bluffs for a
4th of July celebration.
ONE duck species (Wood Duck for the day was a surprise. No Western

For what it's worth, re-affirming what reports already tell you, I spent
the last four days in and around the river east of Valentine. I was looking
for birds the entire time and didn't see any Purple Martins. Didn't spend
any time in Valentine itself, except driving through.

Yesterday on the south side of the Niobrara river in Rock County at the Hart/Harlan ranch we saw fledgling Downy Woodpeckers, Whitebreasted Nuthatches, and at least 3 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. No fledgling hummers yet. Carolyn Hall, Bassett, NE
PS That ranch is across the river from the Hall Ranch in Keya Paha county. This was the location of the ford on the river when the wagon trains were going to the Black Hills in about 1850. We still have wagon ruts going up through our east cow pasture.

Thanks for the geography correction Carolyn. My error- Ainsworth is on a tributary of the Niobrara, which I think is how martins are getting to Valentine since there seem to be no Niobrara River Valley records east of Valentine.

We have several colonies here in Bassett in the head of the Elkhorn Valley. None at the Hall ranch in Keya Paha county in the Niorara valley but have never put up a Martin house either. Too many trees.
PS Ainsworth is not in the Elkhorn Valley, the Elkhorn river starts north of the city of Bassett.

Sorry I didn’t get this sent sooner. Wildcat Audubon took a field trip Saturday, June30. We went south of Melbeta through Wright’s Gap to Highway 88 in Banner County. We went east and then turned north to go through Hubbard’s Gap to get back to Highway 92 by McGrew. We had 57 species. Highlight was one SAGE THRASHER in the grassland south of McGrew. I did not post this to ebird, but I believe Kathy DeLara did.

Subject: Re: [NEBirds] McPherson County water spot |
Bill
That is a nice spot. It was also an atlas block for both projects.If you keep on following the road west and north (and it is a public road (Whitewater Lake Road, I think) you'll find another lake, and after driving through at least one set of ranch buildings, you eventually come out just south of Swan Lake, Arthur Co....which is another really nice lake, with viewing from the road. And eventually wind up on Hwy 2, east of Hyannis.
As for Dry Lake, just past it, there is a road that crosses it at right angles, and at the north end of that crossing road is where Oona Bassett used to live, report from, and have the original Tout Bird Club out for an annual summer picnic. Oona submitted many records for the Cornell Nest Record Card Program in the '60s and '70s, and at the age of 88 or 89, she submitted reports for the first Nebraska Breeding Bird Atlas Project. During the first project, I drove back to the ranch and got to meet her and have a short visit. Probably not many current NOU members remember her name, and not that I've been around all that long.....but I did run across an NOU membership card signed by the Treasurer... Mrs.Sigvald Jensen, '73 I think.
I have no idea when we quit issuing membership cards....and can't remember for sure what I was doing yesterday either..... HA!
Just a bit of history.

Subject: [NEBirds] McPherson County water spot
Spent a piece of this afternoon birding McPherson County, where I found a water spot that doesn't appear to have been visited by other birders.
The place is called Dry Lake. From Hwy 92 well west of Tryon, turn north on the paved road from the junction just east of Schick Lake. The county map at the NDOT website calls it Soddy Rd, but it's not signed. Go north a little over 8 miles and turn west on a good gravel road. The county map calls this Whitewater Rd; it's not signed, there's no stop-sign where it joins the paved road, and there's a gate with a ranch's name on it, so it looks very much like a private ranch road (which is probably why it doesn't seem to have been birded before now). The lake is about a mile west of the paved road.
The gravel road stays fairly close to the water for the better part of a mile, so it should make better birding for waterfowl and for water 's-edge birds than Schick Lake or Diamond Bar Lake, where one can't get at all close. I didn't find anything terribly cosmic there today (though a lush patch of broadleaf weeds near the western edge gave me a Bobolink for my McPherson list), but I suspect that it could be quite productive.

Subject: [NEBirds] Re: Black-bellied Whistling Duck |
After four unsuccessful visits to Cody Park over three different days, I finally found the Black-bellied Whistling-Duck at about 7 this evening (June 29). The bird was perched on a rock at the southern edge of the elk pond, close to the tree with the heron nest.
I'd tried at about 2 this afternoon and had no luck; my earlier strikeouts also took place in the late morning or afternoon. I'm starting to get the impression that the duck spends the time from early evening to mid-morning at the elk pond, but then flies off to the river or deep into a tree during the midday. It's not just a question of avoiding the heat of the day: two of my misses were on the 25th, when it rained all day. Birders contemplating a drive to North Platte might want to schedule things accordingly.

{yes, re eBird}
As a true masochist, I thought I'd strike out again on a rare bird, so I checked out the Alda bridge this morning for the Reddish Egret; of course, no go—"three days late and a dollar short," or whatever.
I semi-redeemed the trip by circling back south of Aurora and finding a pair of NE FOY Burrowing Owls at the North Hultine WPA (the prairie dog town along Co Rd 320). I haven't found them there every summer I've checked, so it was some recompense for the egret whiff. To you Lincoln & Omaha birders who "need" a BUOW, and don't want to drive to the Panhandle, I think this is about as far east as BUOWs get in NE. . . .

Have been meaning to thank the trio that found that wonderful REEG and this seems like a golden opportunity so thanks to Matt S. for discovering it, Johnathan N. for photographing it, and Joel J. for identifying that wishlist Mega.
Joel brings up a great topic of concern. We were shocked to see the close proximity of birders to that REEG when we arrived on Sunday but the bird seemed pretty much oblivious to humans including a bicyclist, kids, and other non-birding trail users. We spoke in hushed tones and moved cautiously while we viewed it but saw other less concerned birders loudly come and go without phasing the REEG. We watched it at close range in the tree two different times for about an hour each time and both times the bird went through a natural routine of stretching and walking out onto an outer branch before flying to the river to forage and returned in-between to its same perch. The second time the REEG flew off to forage, someone who identified themselves as being with Game and Parks arrived on the scene at about that exact same time, but we had assumed that was just a coincidence. We've never seen a Green Heron or Great Blue Heron tolerate humans right next to its perch tree and were curious if that REEG was somehow acclimated to people on the coast?

I was on the road the past two days and had the following sightings:

I also swung by Cody Park in North Platte and easily relocated the previously-reported Black-bellied Whistling-Duck.
Finally, I stopped by the crane viewing platform south of the Alda I-80 exit to see if the Reddish Egret was still hanging out there. It was nowhere to be found. From what I can tell, the bird was last seen on Tuesday (6/26). The bird was very (overly) accommodating and many people saw it, but I'm aware of at least two instances where people with cameras unnecessarily approached the bird too closely and caused it to flush. I would not be surprised if there were more instances. The bird may have moved on by its own accord, but it seems possible human pressure from people with cameras was also a, and possibly thee, factor.

I was on the road the past two days and had the following sightings:
1 immature Common Loon and 1 Willet (safe to assume a southbound migrant) at Harlan County Lake 6/27
7 Mississippi Kites (6 ads, 1 sub-adult) in Imperial on 6/27
2 Cassin's Sparrows near Madrid, Perkins Co on 6/28
I also swung by Cody Park in North Platte and easily relocated the previously-reported Black-bellied Whistling-Duck.
Finally, I stopped by the crane viewing platform south of the Alda I-80 exit to see if the Reddish Egret was still hanging out there. It was nowhere to be found. From what I can tell, the bird was last seen on Tuesday (6/26). The bird was very (overly) accommodating and many people saw it, but I'm aware of at least two instances where people with cameras unnecessarily approached the bird too closely and caused it to flush. I would not be surprised if there were more instances. The bird may have moved on by its own accord, but it seems possible human pressure from people with cameras was also a, and possibly thee, factor.

My husband and I walked the K trail from Haworth down to about the Base
lake. Water ,water everywhere! It was still flowing in and had risen in the
hour we spent there. Saw mostly red-winged black birds ( male and female)
and orchard orioles (male and female) not much of anything else.

I went out this afternoon to check the roads before I do my BBS route this
week. At CR Z and CR5 in Scotts Bluff County I found a Northern Mockingbird
displaying and singing. Did not see a second one anywhere. (ebird)
On the way back to Morrill I found another Osprey nest, this one is near the
railroad tracks at CR F and CR 6 on a power pole. It's about 2 miles west of
where I saw the Osprey earlier this spring and last year building a nest in
the old Jirdon's feed lot. This makes the 6th active Osprey nest in Scotts
Bluff Co that I know of this year. Also three of them are very near
railroad track crossings and about a half mile or more away from the river.
Just seems odd.. guess the noise doesn't bother them. (ebird)
A couple weeks ago I was talking to a guy that has land down by the river on
Berggren Rd. You can not see his property from the road. He said that he

pole, and are now on the platform near Hiway 26 and Berggren Rd, are the

Also saw Dickcissels in several places along the roads. Hoping to get some
on the BBS route. (non ebird)
On Friday I saw a pair of cardinals caring food into a Russian Olive tree at

The Reddish Egret was present this morning around 9:30am.
As I was heading that direction, the radio was playing a reggae song about mangrove forests, which seemed like a good omen. I arrived to find the bird perched in a cottonwood tree, visible from the middle parking area without getting out of my vehicle (which was nice given the rain).
This will be posted to eBird.

Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder to type "ebird" or "no ebird" on your NEBIRDS
sighting reports. I'm working on the Spring Seasonal Report (March-May) for
Neb Bird Review and having those notations allows me to comb through and put
on my spreadsheet the non-eBird March-May reports much more quickly, since I
download what's on eBird anyway.
Much appreciated,

Wow! Sweet. Something looked off when I was looking at my pics, especially
the beak, but I just figured it was a different variation. Didnt even
imagine something like a Reddish Egret.
It was hanging out on a sandbar not far from a group of noisy youth
swimming in the river near the bridge. I was surprised it was tolerating
the commotion.
Thanks to Matt for posting on NEBirds so I could go check it out.

Probably a bit late on this. Just back from the Panhandle. On 21 June, I saw a male in Carter Canyon, Scotts Bluff Co., ~1/4 mile above the Robidoux Trading Post site, in an area by a small bridge with a grassy slope on the north side of the road.
I did NOT see any along Wright's Gap road.
Might be a quiet time, with the territorial boundary disputes over, and the females incubating, and not feeding babies yet.
Good luck

Yes we were able to find the ducks on our second try this evening!! Can’t
believe they’ve stayed this long.
They were farther east than I was expecting. We came in to wagon train lake
from the west side on Martel road. Walked east on the dike out to the
middle and then turned left on a section of the dike that goes north. They
were across on the north shore a little to the west of that dike in front
of the Canada geese.
Thanks

Subject: [NEBirds] RE: Black-bellied Whistling-Duck report - Atkinson |
I got to Atkinson yesterday afternoon (June 20) at about 6 p.m., and found Dave Stage already looking for the Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks. He and I unsuccessfully sought them along the south side of the pond south of the vet clinic; beside looking at the pond, both of us scanned the trees along its north side. After Dave left, I tried looking southwest into the trees from the entrance to the vet clinic, but had no luck.
I checked Millrace Park to see if the ducks had moved to that lake, but found nothing. I then returned to the vet-clinic pond. This time, I birded westward along the south side, again checking the trees, then continued westward and looped around the sewage plant (which doesn't have a pond), checking the trees along the Elkhorn there. No luck.
I returned to Atkinson this morning (June 21) and checked the vet-clinic pond and the area behind the sewage plant again, then went out to Millrace Park again. No sign of whistling-ducks.
I'm writing this from the Atkinson library just after noon. I'm about to head south toward Burwell. I'll take a quick look at the vet-clinic pond again as I go, and if I find whistling-ducks will return here and post a message. Otherwise, assume that I again didn't find them.
