Columbus Audubon Society had its first field trip on Saturday, April
3 at Oxbow Meadows. There were a dozen birders assembled early
Saturday morning to explore the nature trails. We sighted the
following (from eBird report). We had a couple of good views of a
Little Blue Heron (in the scope) and a beautiful Wood Duck. The
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was a good find. Only a couple of warblers
though. To cap off the day, later that afternoon up in Pine Mountain,
I saw a fully mature Bald Eagle flying over, going south to north.

Subject: Scarlet Tanager in Habersham County

I looked out my kitchen window this morning and there was a brilliant male
Scarlet Tanager sitting on the deck railing. I thought I'd heard him
singing in the woods a couple days ago, but could never find him. A great
way to start the day.

Just as I was about to leave the house yesterday I saw a flash of blue near my
feeders. I wasn't sure I'd seen blue so I watched as the bird flew back to the
feeder and sure 'nuff it was neon blue! I didn't see one all last yr when I
usually have a pair on the property every other yr since '99.
The eastern bluebirds of happiness are crapping on my car while he tries to
chase himself out of the mirror. LOL
And I caught my resident mocker has apparently accepted another in the
yard...hmmm wonder what they're up to....
Also, had a report that there was a wild turkey hen in my front field yesterday
morning.

Subject: April Fool's Gone Awry!
From: Mark McShane <eagleeyed(AT)BELLSOUTH.NET>

Hi All,
Since acquiring, and maintaining, a good birding sense of humor is quite
relevant, desirable, and even essential for all of us I would like to
relay this little April Fool's Day joke that recently went a bit awry in
Alabama for everyone's perusal and enjoyment!
Good Birding All!

Subject: APRIL FOOLS: Howard's May Pelagic Trip
From: "Howard Horne" <hhorne AT earthlink.net>
Date: Sun, 04 Apr 2010 15:15:34 -0000
Hi all,
Maybe my April Fools day posting was not such a good idea. I'm now
receiving NUMEROUS e-mails from folks who want to attend.
LET ME CLARIFY: There is NO OFFSHORE PELAGIC TRIP FOR $35. This was my
annual APRIL FOOLS JOKE to ALBirds.
The key to the whole joke was the part about going offshore for 24 HOURS
in CANOES and KAYAKS.
To see deep-water pelagic birds in the Gulf of Mexico, it requires one to
travel WAY, WAY OFFSHORE well past the 100-fathom drop off (which is over
600 FEET DEEP). The closest land is often 2,000 feet away on these trips:
STRAIGHT DOWN.
Trips in the past have gone close to 90 NAUTICAL MILES out into the Gulf.
This is way too far for any canoe or kayak and can only be accessed safely
in a power boat.
I apologize for any confusion, but I can not offer the canoe/kayak pelagic
trip for this rate at this time.
Cheers,
Howard Horne
Mobile, AL
