[...] Lesley participates in many exciting wildlife watching, counting, sometimes even corralling activities (the sturgeon “rodeo” comes to mind) but my biggest thrill every spring is the return of the hummingbirds to my front yard. I admit it, that first tiny bird that shows up in May to my feeder means as much to me as the entire Keweenaw Raptor Survey. [...]

Arthur,

I too purchased the new Liguori book after stopping at Brockway in April. Wished I had it beforehand.

Thanks for the I.D. tips. Had a great time on the mountain.

I left the summit in the hopes of bringingy ou all luck — I figured that, as soon as I and Nola left, the wind would swing to the south, and temperatures would rise. From my email keys to God’s ears.

I have some good pictures but, in truth, until the critters come up close and personal, 300 mm won’t cut it.

I am going through Arthur-withdrawal. People with enclopedic knowledge, credibility, and grace are hard to come by in this life.

Hi, Mike! Thanks for your addendum! I like Liguori’s new book, too, and find myself going through both of his books as if they were a single reference. My hope, too, is that you find the flights you most surely deserve when you come up next weekend! I hope to see you up on the mountain then!

Another book worth considering is the relatively new (2011) Hawks at a Distance. It’s yet another helpful book by Jerry Liguori. Great plates, and in the back, you’ll find a large series (50+ for each species per page) of instructive silhouettes.

I see the long-range forecasts (for whatever they’re worth) suggest you may enjoy winds with some southerly component next Monday-Wednesday. Please don’t use up ALL the S and SE winds before a few of us arrive on Saturday or Sunday, May 5 or 6. Brockway OWES us big-time for the last, ohhh, 5 times we’ve been up there.
