Hi all:
=20
Thank you to Jim Edsal for getting an id on the moth for me.  It is a maple=
 looper with the fur scraped off of the back and the exoskeleton showing th=
rough.  The red of the exoskeleton is what threw me on trying to identify i=
t myself. =20

Glenn Rhodenizer reports to me that there are 20 red-winged blackbirds pres=
ent and that the bobolinks at Second Peninsula are really late with fledgin=
g the young.  Three nests have just fledged young within the last few days.=
  He reports no cliff swallows nesting on the farm there this year at all. =
 This is the first time ever that they have not been there.  One pair arriv=
ed earlier on=2C but left.  On the bright side there are about 80 barn swal=
lows present and one late nester is still sitting on eggs.  Glenn also let =
me know that about 10 pairs of bobolinks nested in a field that he mows in =
North West this year.
