I had an interesting, if short, banding session at Nerstrand Big Woods State
Park this morning. The highlight of the morning was a banded Gray Catbird,
band 1581-11016. This is not one of my bands. Anyone on these lists care
to claim it? I have a report into the Banding Office, and will let you know
when I hear from them.

Other birds banded:

1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak
2 Mourning Warblers
1 Ovenbird
1 Lincoln's Sparrow
1 Northern Waterthrush
3 Common Yellowthroats
1 House Wren

An Indigo Bunting flew under my net.

This morning on my bike ride to work I watched a red-headed woodpecker 
fly over the road and perch on a snag. While flying, it's white 
secondaries caught my eye and when it perched on the trunk of the snag 
I got a great look. It flew over Vermillion road about 1/2 mile north 
of the entrance to Park Hill Cemetery in the Hunter's Park neighborhood.

As I rode down Amity Creek and into Lester Park I heard several 
migrants, including:

Least Flycatcher
Great Crested Flycatcher
Nashville Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Ovenbird
Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Yesterday in Lester Park I also heard Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Hermit 
Thrush, and Northern Parula.

All this seems a bit early this year. I've got a Northern Cardinal in 
my yard sitting on three eggs since at least last Saturday.

Lot's of spring ephemerals are also blooming here. Our Hepatica and 
Bloodroot are almost done, but Anemone and Trillium are coming on and 
Bellwort is justing pushing up out of the ground. The Ammelanchier 
trees have also burst into bloom in the last couple of days.

I will be going to the DC area in mid-June for 10 days vacation 
starting with the Willmington, Jamestown, Norfolk area, then DC, 
Gettysburg and Philadelphia. Anyone know of any birding hot spots in 
the area or off the road ways to or from?

So true. Must have been my overzealousness about being "right" about 
something. Actually Caprimulgidae and Caprimulgiformes are my 
favorite birdie word so I am amazed that I missed my opportunity to 
use it in a sentence. Darn.

Thanks for the clarity.
