Hi All ,I have just finished working on a six week migration project for OSU
on the shores of Lake Erie. Gathering data for them to use in a study for
migratory birds and yes I did get paid to watch and count birds. The migration
was something to see as we started on April 19 actually gathering data. With
the build up of birds warblers, waterfowl, sparrows, thrushes and everything in
between. Some days the birds were like gnats in that they were so thick in the
trees. It really was a once in a lifetime experience to work it and live the
mirgration as it grew to the peak and then slowly passed to the north. I would
like to thank Tom Hunter and Roger Mayhorn and Alan Boynton for their
references , Alan even called to inform me of a life bird that I need to see a
Conneticut Warbler great looks at an elusive bird. The migration was
spectacular and a great experience but it could not compare to the Wow when I
got to hold my fiancee Annie again after being away from her, what a wonderful
thing that was to experience.
Great Birding to you!
