In case you missed the Greater Yellowlegs from the La Chua observation platform on 1 June, there's one at Sweetwater Wetlands Park today: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18994861221/in/dateposted-public/ If this isn't the same bird we saw on the 1st – and to my eye it seems to have a longer bill – then it's the earliest fall migrant in Alachua County history.
Last Sunday's Belted Kingfisher is still there too: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18994865391/in/dateposted-public/
We're coming down to the last third of June. Birders are still trying to track down Broad-winged Hawk, Hairy Woodpecker, and Wood Thrush. If you know where any of those birds can be found, let me know and I'll pass the word.
The Red-headed Woodpeckers in my back yard fledged at least one youngster yesterday. "More Red-headed Woodpeckers" belongs decidedly on the good side of the world's ledger.

When I wasn't looking, Short-tailed Hawk became the most common bird in Alachua County. We've had five sightings in a little more than three weeks: Matt Bruce saw one near Kanapaha Gardens on May 27th, John Martin saw one near Hunters Crossing on June 8th, Peter Polshek saw one at Lake Alice on the 12th, Lloyd Davis and Will Sexton saw one in Windsor on the 13th, and Bob Carroll saw one over Hitchcock's in Alachua on the 17th. All were dark morphs, but even if the first three involved a single wide-ranging bird, I can't believe it also went to Windsor and then Alachua, so I think there are at least three birds involved, maybe more. Also keep in mind that there were three sightings of dark morph Short-taileds in April. What it comes down to is this: Short-tailed Hawk = trash bird.
Last Sunday Bob Carroll wrote, "I went to Sweetwater Wetlands Park to look for the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. There were plenty of Black-crowned Night-Herons, but none of their Yellow-crowned cousins. Nonetheless, it proved to be a good day. Besides the Least Bitterns, Purple Gallinules, Limpkins, etc., I saw a King Rail and a Belted Kingfisher. Both were on the southern edge near the two covered benches. The kingfisher flew the length of the canal in front of the benches, hunting along the opposite bank. He caught a small fish, perched in the southwest corner of the property, and settled in for lunch." That's the only kingfisher recorded during the June Challenge this year. So far, anyway – we might get some early-returning migrants at the end of the month. At any rate, it might be worth checking SWP this weekend.
Last Saturday's field trip to look at the Burrowing Owls of Watermelon Pond was a success. Not only did 37 people turn out – https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18869341866/in/dateposted-public/ – but a minimum of 12 Burrowing Owls were seen, half of which were recently-fledged young: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18895362865/in/dateposted-public/
Eastern Kingbirds are resident in the same area as the Burrowing Owls, and Michael Drummond got this (typically) excellent photo of one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18895903775/in/dateposted-public/
Several of us went to the Newberry Cemetery after the Burrowing Owl trip in search of White-winged Dove and Northern Flicker. No luck on the doves, but we found the flickers nesting right next door, in front of the elementary school: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18869704466/
Chuck-will's-widow isn't always easy to find, but Peter Polshek was canny enough to consult A Birdwatcher's Guide to Alachua County, Florida (p. 104-05), and on the 11th he wrote, "I saw 4 Chucks along the first mile of Fish Camp Road off County Road 325 last evening about 8:45-9:15." Fish Camp Road is one and a half miles south of the Longleaf Flatwoods Reserve parking corral.
The Common Loon found by Chris Cattau at Newnans Lake on the 12th was seen again by Peter Polshek on the 13th. Mike Manetz and I decided to maximize our chances of seeing the loon by kayaking across the northern part of the lake. By my calculation, we paddled between seven and eight miles, a fair bit of that against the wind. Did we see the loon? Do you really have to ask? Of course not. The only even slightly interesting bird we saw was a Laughing Gull. Oddly, we didn't see or hear a single Limpkin.
Ron Robinson advises, "While searching (unsuccessfully) all around the county today for Wood Ducks, I did stumble on to a group of three Mottled Ducks in the retention pond at the corner of NW 24th Boulevard and NW 53rd Avenue near Rainbow Lakes subdivision. It is on the South west corner on the intersection. I thought it might save some Challengers the walk out to the middle of the Prairie. The water level was very low, I missed them on my first scan, they were hiding in some Torpedo Grass."
Gainesville's doughty band of amateur naturalists is losing two important members this summer. Kathy Malone, the guiding spirit behind the local chapter of the North American Butterfly Association and an excellent photographer, moved to Tennessee earlier this month; and in fact the NABA chapter that she founded has now disbanded. And Katherine Edison, one of our best photographers and bloggers, is moving to Athens, Georgia, at the end of the summer. Katherine is making a "farewell tour" of her favorite Gainesville natural areas this month and writing about them in her blog. I think this link will take you to the first one in the "30 Days in June" series (but remember you have to scroll down): http://earthteachme.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2015-06-05T10:36:00-04:00&max-results=12&start=8&by-date=false
An appropriations bill that just passed the House of Representatives will prevent enforcement of the Migratory Bird Treatment Act of 1918, and Congress needs to hear from you about that. The American Birding Association explains it very well: http://blog.aba.org/2015/06/what-birders-should-know-about-the-migratory-bird-treaty-act-threat.html Cindy Boyd told me that someone knocked down the Chimney Swift roost/nesting site at Creekside Mall. I don't know whether birds were nesting in it at the time, but if this bill passes the Senate and gets signed into law, it wouldn't matter whether birds were nesting in it or not. Nesting birds wouldn't be protected anywhere.

Chris Cattau, kayaking on Newnans Lake this evening, photographed a Common Loon at the north end of the lake, "slowly swimming 100+ yards off the west shore, may be visible from Palm Point soon if it continues." Probably not now – he emailed me at 7:30 – but it might be worth checking tomorrow. Here's his picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18562990408/in/dateposted-public/
Remember, though, that tomorrow is also the Burrowing Owl field trip. Carpool if you can – we've got something like 43 people on the list to go! Meet at 7:30 at the county park at the south end of SW 250th Street.
At 1:05 this afternoon Peter Polshek wrote, "Just saw an adult dark-phase Short-tailed Hawk over the eastern portion of the Lake Alice Conservation Area. I was at the corner of Mowry Road and Gale Lemerand Drive." That's three sightings in less than a month – one near Kanapaha Botanical Gardens, one near the Devils Millhopper, and one at Lake Alice. Are Short-tailed Hawks nesting in Gainesville now, or is this a very wide-ranging single bird?
Ron Robinson and I took a walk at San Felasco Hammock this morning – Yellow Trail, Hammock Cutoff, and Blue-Yellow Trail – and found Eastern Wood-Pewee, Acadian Flycatchers, a male Hooded Warbler tending a youngster, singing Red-eyed and Yellow-throated Vireos, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher feeding a juvenile Brown-headed Cowbird.
Have you looked at our "Meet the Birders of Alachua County" page lately? It might help you put a face with a name you've read before. There are now 88 birders on it, including a dozen new photos: http://www.alachuaaudubon.org/meet-the-birders/ If you're an Alachua County birder, please send me a picture and I'll add you too.

John Martin saw a Short-tailed Hawk in NW Gainesville on the 8th. Here's what he wrote in his eBird description: "Dark morph, circling relatively low over NW 48th Street near Hunters Crossing. All dark except for thin banding visible on tail and flight feathers, wings distinctly upswept. Original impression was of a distant circling black vulture, but as I got closer could see the lightness under the tail and wings; no white patches at the wingtips. Pulled over and viewed only for a minute before it moved beyond the tree line associated with Hunters Crossing apartment complex." If it's resident in the neighborhood, you might see it rising up with the vultures in the morning. Magnolia Parke and Possum Creek Park both seem like nearby places that might serve for a sky watch.
John pointed out a Least Tern to Mike Manetz at Palm Point on the evening of the 9th. That's probably a recurring bird at Newnans and maybe other local lakes. They nest on the roof of the high school in Keystone Heights, so Lake Santa Fe might be a good place to look for them if you have access to a boat.
A few Tree Swallows are still lingering at Paynes Prairie. They were seen in the first few days of the month by Lloyd Davis, Mike Manetz, and Matt O'Sullivan, but as recently as the 7th Lloyd saw three at Sweetwater Wetlands Park and one at La Chua, and Peter Polshek saw one today: "observed from La Chua observation platform mid-morning feeding low over the main open water area."
If you still need Eastern Wood-Pewee for the June Challenge, try San Felasco Hammock's Spring Grove Trail AKA the Yellow Trail. From the parking lot on Millhopper Road, cross over to the north side and walk down to the informational kiosk. Go left there, and walk until you get to the intersection with the Hammock Cutoff. Peter Polshek saw one there on the 7th, and Mike Manetz found it there today, though he had to wait a few minutes for it to show up.
Peter also reports a Prothonotary Warbler at River Styx on the 6th. Others have mentioned hearing Acadian Flycatchers calling from the swamps on the west (Micanopy) side of the bridge.
Barn Owl can be tough, but Deena Mickelson wrote on the 7th: "Cindy Boyd spotted two adult Barn Owls at La Chua tonight at exactly 8:30 p.m. I would have completely missed them if she hadn't practically yelled at me to look up as they flew right past us along the water at the end of the boardwalk. They came from the direction of the far corner if you were looking from that 'gazebo' (to the right of and behind where the Great Blue Heron nests), and flew along the water's edge on the side of the trail, and out towards the Prairie." Mike Manetz saw it the next evening: "Brad Hall and I saw it flying out at 8:50, above treetop level, heading south more or less up the canal." Please note that the gate to the La Chua parking lot closes at 8:00, after which you can't get in (though you can get out, by driving up to the gate and triggering its automatic opening device).
Don't forget that American Robins are back at NE 7th Street (the 2000 block, more or less). This is a residential neighborhood, so listen for the singing robin and, once you've located it, wait for it to show itself. Don't spook the robins or the neighbors.
If you're a frequent birder in Alachua County, send me a picture of yourself so that you can be included in this rogue's gallery: http://www.alachuaaudubon.org/meet-the-birders/
Remember that you can add your Alachua County life list to those already on this page. We'd like it if you did: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sVSSm0cEbsRkpGOMGvSlKMrvQp2KJ78iXJeU5kidyY4/edit?usp=sharing
Also remember to let me know if you're going on the Burrowing Owl field trip on the 13th. So far we have 29 participants. Directions: From Gainesville go west on State Road 26 (Newberry Road) to Newberry. Turn left at the traffic light at the junction of 26 and State Road 41 and go south 2.9 miles to SW 46th Avenue. Turn right and go 1.2 miles to SW 250th Street. Turn left – it's a dirt road – and go all the way to the end, which is 3.8 miles. There's a county park there, and that's where we'll meet at 7:30 a.m. on the 13th.

Chris Cattau, who found the Gray Catbird at Tumblin Creek Park a few days ago (still singing invisibly across SW 6th Street from the park's parking lot at nine), reports that a Spotted Sandpiper is at Palm Point this morning. This ties the record for the latest migrant of any species ever reported in Alachua County. Here's Chris's photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18519439452/in/dateposted-public/
This morning several of us converged on Sweetwater Wetlands Park to see if we could add anything to our June Challenge lists. We began by looking for Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in the trash basin. We saw a mystery bird in the trees facing the red bridge, and walked around to the bridge to get a better look. It was an immature Black-crowned Night-Heron, but I decided to set up my scope and take a look at it anyway. I extended the legs of the tripod, set it down, then looked into the lens to see where it was pointed so I could direct it at the Black-crowned – and right there in the lens was the Yellow-crowned! Dumb luck! About half a dozen of us had a look at the bird. We went on around to the south moat in hopes of some late shorebirds, but the water had risen and flooded the mud flats. However Ron Robinson pointed out a King Rail stalking along the edge of the cattails, which was a new June Challenge bird for all of us.
Andy Kratter had an American Redstart at his SE Gainesville home on the 5th, but it was gone this morning.
If you still need Blue-winged Teal, Linda Hensley saw one (plus an American Coot) at Chapmans Pond on the 5th.
Pied-billed Grebes have nested again in the retention pond at NE 4th Street and NE 35th Avenue. The address is misleading: NE 4th Street is a block WEST of Main.
It look me five days to finish it, but I finally put up a blog post about the first day of the June Challenge: http://fieldguide.blogs.gainesville.com/347/the-june-challenge/
A couple of months ago I ran into Susie Hetrick at Publix. Susie is the land manager for the Gladman Tract, the Watermelon Pond property that supports the county's last known population of Burrowing Owls. I asked her if she'd been out to check on the owls lately. She said she had, but had seen only one, and a subsequent trip had found none at all. "I went home and got drunk," she said, because she was managing the Gladman Tract specifically for Burrowing Owls. But she returned in late May and saw a single owl. Would I like to join her for a more thorough search to see if any owls remained on the property? I said I would, and on the morning of June 5th I met Susie and county biologist Michael Drummond at Watermelon Pond County Park. I climbed into the back seat of their truck and we drove up the road and through a gate. We crossed one pasture and then another, and as we ascended a slope toward a fence line that marked a third Susie said, "What is that bird on the fence post? It's got a big head." It was a Burrowing Owl, and as we went over the rise she said, "I see four!" Michael said, "I see three!" And they were looking in different directions! Reader, we found ten Burrowing Owls, and several of them were juveniles.
Which is all prefatory to this announcement: There will be a field trip to add Burrowing Owl to your June Challenge list, or just to see it, on the morning of Saturday, June 13th. There won't be much opportunity for photography, because the owls are too far away and the county wants them to remain undisturbed, but you should be able to get very decent looks through the many spotting scopes that will be there. We'll meet at Watermelon Pond County Park at 7:30. LET ME KNOW if you're coming, because the county wants to know how many to prepare for.

Mike Manetz just called to report a Prairie Warbler where La Chua's Sparrow Alley meets the power line cut. I think that may be the first confirmed Prairie Warbler in June Challenge history.
Nobody was able to relocate the Brown Pelican at Lake Wauberg yesterday or this morning.
Lloyd Davis relocated the Bobolinks off the old Sweetwater Dike yesterday and got a great picture of one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/17834028723/in/dateposted-public/
Lloyd also photographed Chris Cattau's Gray Catbird this morning: https://www.flickr.com/photos/74215662@N04/18456487621/in/dateposted-public/ Mike saw it yesterday afternoon and believes there might be a pair.
If you're closer to High Springs than Newberry, you might be interested in this location for White-winged Doves, discovered by Peter Polshek: "While looking for my suspected E Kingbird, I found a pair of WW Doves. I think I may have heard starlings and mistaken them for a kingbird…or not. They were located in trees along the southern fenceline of 10807 SR 41 south of High Springs. The house has for sale signs and is across the street of a property that had giant (truly) cardinals on top of each fence post."

Hey, I warned you this was going to happen. Just bear with me.

Although the Red-necked Phalarope stuck around through the morning of the 2nd, it was not relocated in the afternoon, and several of us who went looking for it this morning spent over an hour on the observation platform without seeing it, so we figure it's gone. The only migrants we saw, in fact, were eight Semipalmated Sandpipers. Which is not to say the morning was a waste. It was really beautiful out there, with all the blooming American Lotuses, and the birds are unusually plentiful: Least Bitterns and Purple Gallinules are more abundant than I've ever seen them, we counted 24 Black-necked Stilts, including five sitting on nests and a few with chicks, we saw Mottled Ducks with Mottled Ducklings, we saw three Roseate Spoonbills, and everywhere you look there are herons and waterbirds and blackbirds. On the way back, Mike Manetz and I decided to walk the old Sweetwater Dike trail in hopes of seeing a King Rail. Matt O'Sullivan had been with us, but at this point he said goodbye and headed back to his car. Mike and I didn't see the rail, but as we were starting back we got a call from Matt, who was looking at a late Blackpoll Warbler near the boardwalk. We continued on our way, and about a quarter-mile from the main trail a couple of birds popped up from the grass. I could only follow one of them with my binoculars, but it was a female Bobolink, the latest ever recorded in the county. After a congratulatory high-five we continued on toward the Blackpoll – but neither Matt nor the warbler was there when we arrived. We spent ten minutes looking around the vicinity, but with no luck.
On the 1st and 2nd Lloyd Davis and others found a very late Tree Swallow hanging around with some Barn Swallows in the general area where we saw the Bobolink – walk out the old Sweetwater Dike to what used to be a sharp left turn, and just ahead of you there's a shallow body of water. Mike and I looked for the Tree Swallow today, but didn't see any sign of it, though we did see Barn Swallows feeding their fledglings there.
Peter Polshek has advice on finding a tough bird: "I saw an adult Yellow-crowned Night-Heron at San Felasco Hammock in the swamp where the Creek Sink Trail first gets close to the open water area with the high banks where there are several large trees fallen in the water."
Likewise, Chris Cattau can put you on a Gray Catbird: "I'm not sure if Gray Catbirds have always been as rare in June as they have been during the last few years, but if any June Challengers are seeking one now, you might direct them to the map linked below (it should come up with the satellite imagery layer, which makes interpreting the map icon notes easier). I observed it in some shrubs/tress around a tiny drainage ravine, where it was singing on/off for >45min on Monday. I stopped by on my way to work today to check whether it was still there. I heard and saw it again briefly before it flew up into some taller trees and across SW 6th ST, but I have a feeling it will be returning to same spot. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zPh7QdAm_050.kLmvRY86lZwU&usp=sharing " This is Tumblin Creek Park, where you may remember a Nashville Warbler wintered several years ago.
On the 1st Becky Enneis wrote, "The Northern Bobwhites were out in force this morning along Cellon Creek Boulevard. I saw 6, possibly 7. They were calling from both sides of the road. Three flew across the road in front of me and landed in the short grass at road's edge, two more were standing in the short grass where the trailers are parked, and another was sauntering along in front of the blackberry bushes. I saw a couple more out walking, but they could have been from the original three."
On the 2nd Anne Casella went to lots of places and saw lots of birds, "Just wanted to let you know of locations where I saw some birds today to pass on in case folks need these birds. I started out at the Hague Dairy and Cellon Creek Boulevard this morning. There was a family of Wild Turkeys foraging along NW 43rd Street on the east side past Blues Creek both on my way out and an hour later on my way back. At the dairy I found 3 American Kestrels. Two Sandhill Cranes were foraging right next to the road that runs through the dairy and 2 Common Ground-Doves were on the road just past where you sign in. At Cellon Creek Boulevard, I found all the expected species (except American Kestrel). There are also Purple Martins at the end of the road where the Northern Rough-winged Swallows and Eastern Kingbird hang out. I was able to flush a Northern Bobwhite which made up for missing the one at Longleaf yesterday. I went to San Felasco where I only saw Acadian Flycatcher although I chased both Red-eyed and Yellow-throated Vireos around but never saw them. No Hooded Warbler, but it was a little late by this time – 9:30 and I didn't walk that far. I went out to Newberry to look for Northern Flicker and White-winged Dove. There were state prisoners all over the cemetery mowing and weed-whacking so I went to the Country Way subdivision to get White-winged Dove – very easy – and I found a Northern Flicker at the top of a tree in the yard at the corner of SW 20th Avenue and SW 254th Street. I don't know if this is a regular perch for the bird, but there is at least one flicker out in Newberry."
As both Becky and Anne suggest, Cellon Creek Boulevard is a worthwhile stop for June Challengers, offering Northern Bobwhite, Swallow-tailed Kite (watch the treeline to the south), Common Ground-Dove, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Eastern Kingbird, Loggerhead Shrike, Purple Martin, Northern Rough-winged Swallow, Eastern Bluebird, Brown Thrasher, European Starling, and Eastern Meadowlark. It's a short road, just drive along watching the wires till you get to the power substation, then get out of your car and look around. Here's a map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zUwrxikNCmjA.k320X2sM0ChY&usp=sharing
Becky Enneis is looking ahead to the June Challenge party on July 1st. She has a request: "Since so many birders now take cameras with them, I was wondering if maybe a June Challenge bird slideshow might be enjoyable. Birders could email me their good Challenge bird photos during the month, and I could make a slideshow of them for the party. Of course you should send only photos taken during June 2015 in Alachua County. Also, please identify the bird and tell where the photo was taken. (Example: Brown Thrasher, Cellon Creek Boulevard.)"

We started the 2015 June Challenge at 6:15 this morning at Longleaf Flatwoods Reserve with 24 participants. We saw our two target birds, Common Nighthawk and Bachman's Sparrow, but it was fairly quiet otherwise.
We went on to the Windsor boat ramp, where we found Bald Eagle, Laughing Gull, and Limpkin. However our best bird, a singing Prairie Warbler, never gave us a look. I may go back tomorrow morning and try for that one again.
Powers Park and Palm Point produced the expected birds, but the only thing even slightly out of the ordinary was a flyover Cooper's Hawk in the parking lot.
At La Chua we were confused by a sign that said the trail is closed, but it turned out that only a section was closed: the shortcut that allows you to bypass the boardwalk. It was about 10:00 by the time we got there, and we weren't sure that the birds would still be singing, but there was a brilliant male Indigo Bunting near the boardwalk and several singing adult male Orchard Orioles, one of which had fledged two or three young. We were going to follow the old Sweetwater Dike down to the first bend and try for King Rail and Purple Gallinule, but we ran into Howard Adams, Barbara Mollison, Linda Hensley, and Brad Hall coming from the opposite direction, and they told us that Alachua Lake was alive with birds. So we made the long hot walk to the observation platform and found that the water level is falling, exposing a lot of mud around the edges of the lake. We saw Mottled Ducks (some with ducklings) and three Blue-winged Teal. We saw Glossy Ibis, Wood Storks, and Roseate Spoonbills. We saw Purple Gallinules and Least Bitterns (Least Bitterns were so frequently seen that we got tired of them). And we saw some lingering shorebirds. Not just the expected Black-necked Stilts (some of them sitting on nests) and Killdeer, but a Greater Yellowlegs, a Semipalmated Plover, and a Least Sandpiper. Then Dean Ewing pointed out a little swimming bird that he didn't recognize to his son Sam, and Sam identified it as a phalarope. After a lot of peering through telescopes and long-distance photography, we all agreed on Red-necked Phalarope. It wasn't an easy bird to find, because it's quite small and spent most of its time swimming around in a weedy area where it was partially hidden from view. I think I'll go back tonight, when the glare isn't so bad, to see if I can get a better view and to see if anything else has shown up. There's a lot of mud out there!
We finished up at 1:00 with a Yellow-breasted Chat a couple hundred yards out from the old horse barn. Some people had more, some people had fewer, but I ended the morning with 59 species.

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER for eBirders: Use the "Sweetwater Wetlands Park" hotspot when you're eBirding your sightings there, otherwise they won't be added to the park's eBird database. Lots of SWP sightings are being referred to Sweetwater Preserve or the former Sweetwater Branch, which are not the same thing.
Here's how you go about it:
1. When you click on "Submit Observations" in the menu, you're taken to a page headed, "Where did you bird?"
2. Halfway down the page is the "Find it on a map" option, and you should enter "Alachua" into the search box there.
3. One of the choices presented is, "Alachua, Florida, United States (US)." Click on that, and you'll get a map of Alachua County with several red and blue teardrops on it.
4. In the upper left hand corner is a scale. Click on the plus sign ("+") two times.
5. About an inch below the word "Gainesville" you'll see "331" with a circle around it. Just overlapping that 331 is a red teardrop with a flame in it (flame means a hot-spot! get it?). Click on that red teardrop, and "Sweetwater Wetlands Park" ought to appear in a yellow rectangle to the right.
6. Then click "Continue" and … um, continue.
This weekend's eBird reports from Sweetwater Wetland Parks showed no migrant shorebirds remaining. Which is actually good news, because we won't spend the first week of The June Challenge with our fingers crossed, hoping they stay put until Saturday.
Matt Bruce saw a Short-tailed Hawk at his place near Kanapaha Botanical Gardens on the 27th. He wrote, "Dark morph. From my horse pasture I watched as the hawk circled overhead, hovered in place, and finally plunged into the treetops. It emerged with nothing to show for its efforts and continued to circle around in a kite-like fashion until it was out of view."
On the 28th Frank Goodwin reported some good birds from from La Chua: "In case this hasn't been reported yet, there is a Least Bittern nest visible from the La Chua observation platform. Looking southwest from the platform toward the northeastern edge of the willow grove, the nest is at the base of a tangle of rushes (cattails, perhaps?) and other foliage, thus about 50-75 yards from the platform. Irina and I counted three fledglings this morning, one of which is already strong and bold enough to clamber along the crest of the foliage for a vista of the brave new world. The parents are foraging conspicuously throughout the vicinity, so if the fledglings aren't immediately visible, one can just wait for the parents to fly in to deliver food. There's actually a second nest, as well (we saw a second set of parents descend into it), but that one is further south, deeper in the rushes on the southern side of that same willow grove. There are also at least four different female Black-necked Stilts all sitting atop nests on the mud flats. And four Roseate Spoonbills, too."
Here's something for you county listers. I'm always curious to know what species other birders have seen in the county that I haven't and vice-versa. Mike Manetz and I, for instance, are tied with 318 species each for Alachua County, but our lists aren't identical. Mike has seen five species I haven't: Red Knot, Broad-billed Hummingbird, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Bell's Vireo, and Warbling Vireo. Likewise I've seen five species Mike hasn't: American Oystercatcher, Pomarine Jaeger, Philadelphia Vireo, Connecticut Warbler, and Black-throated Gray Warbler. If you want to compare your Alachua County list with that of other birders, go to this page, type your name into the cell in Row 1, and then start putting 1's next to every species you've seen in the county. The checklist will automatically tally them for you. Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sVSSm0cEbsRkpGOMGvSlKMrvQp2KJ78iXJeU5kidyY4/edit?usp=sharing
And here's something else (because we birders are a generous bunch!). Phil Laipis writes, "John Hintermister keeps asking me why my Garmin GPSr does not show county lines. I finally gave up, and figured out how to do it. So I thought maybe there are other birders out there who would find this useful, and wrote a brief 'how to' file. It will also work on your hiking GPS, if that interests you. I don't use my smart phone because they don't work in some of the places I NEED a GPS, like northern New Hampshire and Maine, Mount Hood in Oregon, Lower Suwanee, etc. So here's the file." https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4E7iNkfaDyUMTJaaEQyY1Q2dWZ1WWdHSXRhVWZsd2VUaFAw/view?usp=sharing

On This Page
Microsoft Word does not provide a built-in method for applying two different page-numbering schemes in one document. This article describes how to create one page-numbering scheme for the whole document and another scheme for each section of the document.
Sample DocumentFor example, a 10-page document has 3 sections, with the following number of pages in each section:
4 pages in section 1 (physical pages 1 through 4)By using the following method, you can create two page-numbering schemes as follows:
2 pages in section 2 (physical pages 5 through 6)
4 pages in section 3 (physical pages 7 through 10)
The header displays the numbering scheme of:
Page Number of Total Number of Pages in SectionThe footer displays the numbering scheme of:
Total number of pages in the documentFor example, on page 3 of section 1 (the third physical page of the total document), the header displays Page 3 of 4, and the footer displays 3. On page 2 of section 3 (the eighth physical page of the total document), the header displays Page 2 of 4, and the footer displays 8.
NOTE: This process assumes that you have a document with multiple sections, and that you are familiar with inserting field codes.
To create a numbering scheme that uses consecutive numbering throughout the document and a second numbering scheme that numbers each section beginning at 1, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: Use SEQ Fields
Method 2: Use PAGEREF FieldsTo create the Header section-numbering scheme, follow these steps.
NOTE: Page numbering starts at 1 for each section, and the PAGEREF field yields the number of pages in each section. Page numbering appears as "Page X of Y" on each page, where X is the current page in the current section, and Y is the number of pages in the current section.

Brought to you by
My son is going to be a year on 9-2 and I am concerned about a possible language delay. He started cooing at a very early age and would even say "agoo" regularly and "hi" at three months.. But since then all he does is make a lot of "vocal excercises/nonsense sounds not even sure I could call it babbling bc it's not mama dada or anything like that.. Other than that he's very smiley, giggles a lot, great eye contact and he waves, does high fives, mimics people and FINALLY began to crawl and stand up last month (he was a late bloomer I guess!) of course everything I see online gets me concerned bc they say no babbling at 12 months is an early sign of autism- I try everything to get him to talk and nothing yet! I'm going to bring it up to dr but curious to get peoples perspectives on this..
As long as he is making eye contact and smiling back and forth I would not worry about autism. I would not worry about a language delay until he is 2. Some are late talkers especially boys. Does he turn his head to loud noises? Has he had a lot of ear infections? Are you concerned at all about his hearing? If not I would just continue to read to him label things and talk to him and he will eventually talk back :) if you are concerned talk to your pediatrician or a speech language pathologist. Sounds normal to me though.
He def has no issue w hearing and no ear infections to date. He responds to his name and turns his head to sounds so that part I'm not concerned. I try not to focus on the milestones/by age but it's hard not to compare w other peoples kids who are babbling and saying words at 8 months!
"Comparison is the thief of joy" is one of my favorite quotes. Try not to compare! He'll get there.
i had some of the same concerns and someone i work with does first steps (early intervention) for speech. i talked to her and she said as long as he engages and wants to try to interact he is basically good to go. basically what they look for is 15 words by 18 months before they get too concerned.
i have also read and been told that some kids are "motor kids" and are just too busy moving and developing gross motor skills that language doesn't really occur to then. my kid is definitely mr. motor so that makes sense for us.
From what you posted, I would not be too concerned.
Sounds like you have a sweet, happy little baby. Enjoy him, it's going too fast. He sounds perfect to me.
Thanks everyone- I'm sure he is just working on his motor skills and the speech will follow. I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by- sometimes I wish I could freeze time!
I agree with pp. I do special needs work and work closely with speech and language pathologists and I just wanted to add that people often forget that sounds, car, animal what have you, also count as words. Signs also count at this age as it is about communication and falls into the 'language' category.
My son has said bye bye dada and bro bro. Thank goodness I recorded him saying these things and that my husband and mom were present because he has days when he won't say any words sometimes days at a time. But i don't think you have anything to worry about.
I wouldn't worry- every baby is different! You could try introducing some baby signs to aid in communication, supposed to be helpful with them learning to talk too. Don't stress over it tho! :)
Try not to worry. My little brother didn't say anything for 2 yrs and now we can't get him to shut up lol your baby will talk when he is ready. Boys are lazy
If he is mimicing people, has great eye contact, looks to see if you're watching when something happens (my LO will look at me when she falls or when she hears music, ec.), I'm pretty sure he doesn't have autism. I was super worried about autism because I've worked with autistic kids a lot. I was worried when my LO didn't really like to be held, but since she does all those other things she is DEFINITELY not autistic and yours isn't either. Don't take just one symptom and diagnose him. Take the rest of his traits into account.
Sounds like my LO. He has been like that for a while, and just in this past week was "babbling" jaja for dada when it's bedtime and his dad is supposed to be home. So, it's a little slower. I started labeling things more intentionally and he's really improved.

During Monday night's New Castle City Commission meeting, there was at least some positive news.
Public Works Director Scot Treece requested that the commission obtain bids to resurface several streets this fall. "If we can get some done this fall," he said, "we can go back in the spring and finish up."

When New Castle residents cast their votes Nov. 4, the result could be an entirely new commission — just one incumbent seeks reelection this year.
Candidates for New Castle City Commission are Dennis W. Benham, Donna Gatewood, Linda Golden, Anthony Pierce, Tommy Lane Pollard, Charlie Sevier and incumbent Wanda Thurman.

Down, but not out, the Eminence swimming pool will not go quietly into the night.
The city is under investigation by the state Auditor of Public Accounts regarding the money raised to repair the pool. And one candidate for the city council claims the city lied in its response to the auditor's office.

Do you know the signs?
Signs are everywhere in our lives. We live by them so that we have more order and less chaos. When we see a red light, we know to stop; when we see a "do not enter sign," we know the area is forbidden; and when we see ice and snow on the roads, we know that we should proceed with caution. Signs give us a sense of control which makes living a little easier.
The addition of a DVD rental kiosk makes Norm's Food World in Eminence a one-of-a-kind store in the area. Store manager Steve Wood said the community response has been good. "It's catching on," he said. "They're getting to be a real big item."
When Pleasureville voters choose their city commission members, they'll have four incumbents and one newcomer to choose from.
Candidates for Pleasureville City Commission are Gary Grigsby, Vic Harrod, Pam Whitaker, R.L. Wilson and newcomer Sandra Woods.

At about 9:30 Saturday morning, roughly half a dozen Safety Kleen employees stood at the plant's main gate on La Grange Road, waiting somewhat impatiently. "Where are they? What's taking so long?" some asked.

Apple seeds first iOS 8.1.1 beta: bug fixes and performance boosts for older devices
Apple tonight has released the first beta of iOS 8.1.1 to developers. This update is packed with bug fixes, according to the release notes. Most notably, "this release includes bug fixes, increased stability and performance improvements for iPad 2 and iPhone 4s."
This marks the first time in recent history that Apple is seeding a beta for a patch update. A new seed for the Apple TV is also available. Apple released the first OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 beta earlier today. iOS 8.1.1 is the follow-up to iOS 8.1, which includes Apple Pay support, SMS forwarding to Yosemite, and iCloud Photo Library Beta.
Apple is also developing iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3 for release next year.
Apple releases iOS 7.1 beta to developers w/ UI tweaks and new Yahoo! logo, speed improvements, more
Apple has released the first seed of iOS 7.1 beta (build number 11D5099e) to registered developers today. Check below for a comprehensive overview of changes and iOS 7.1 Release Notes below:
Security researcher Ibrahim Balic credited by Apple for reporting Developer Center issue
This morning, Apple updated its Apple Web Server notifications page to credit security researcher Ibrahim Balic and several others for pointing out security flaws in their web servers.
Balic claimed to be responsible for taking down the Developer Center after demonstrating how security flaws in the website allowed him to gather full names and Apple IDs. After Apple did not respond promptly to his bug reports, he posted the details to YouTube and discussed them on Twitter. The video has since been taken down.
During the Developer Center's one week outage (other services took even longer to be restored), Balic was contacted by Apple and their security team to gather more details. During initial contact with 9to5Mac back in July, he was very persistent on stating that he's not a "hacker" and was not going to use the data for any malicious purposes. Apple, it appears, did appreciate his findings and is now crediting him on their website: Read more
All Developer Center services back online, members receiving one month extension for downtime
Apple has been slowly restoring various services and overhauling its Developer Center since the company shut down all services to investigate an attempted breach into the system late last month. After outlining its plan to restore remaining services earlier this week, today the few developer services that remained down are now back online. That includes the Member Center, Program Enrollment and Renewals, and Technical Support. In addition, Apple has extended all developer memberships by one month as a result of the service interruption.
Following the security threat last month, Apple said it would work to completely overhaul its developer services, including "updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database." Since confirming the security issue and shutting down the developer center, it's taken the company just over 3 weeks to rebuild its developer system and restore all services.
Apple provided extensions for developer memberships set to expire during the outages, and also launched a new System Status page for developers that shows the status of each developer service.
Here is the email that was sent out to developers: Read more
Apple's Developer Center is back after over a week offline
After being offline for more than a week, Apple's Developer Center is back. Access to the portal was removed by Apple after it was discovered that a breach into the system granted individuals access to the names, mailing addresses, and email addresses of registered developers. Apple confirmed that sensitive personal data such as credit card information and developer passwords were encrypted and secure.
The Developer Center looks the same as it was prior to its removal, but we assume Apple has followed through with its promise to overhaul the entire system by updating its server software and rebuilding its databases from scratch so as to prevent another intrusion.
While most of the main developer services have returned, Apple is still in the process of restoring the entire portal to normal. Some areas of the site such as the forums, pre-release documentation, and development videos, are still offline as per Apple's System Status page.
Apple has also emailed developers with this new information:

Wow, pretty smooth for 10 years. Easy to drink
23rd March 2015
I bought this as a gift - imagine my surprise when I got it back! Clearly the intended recipient knew not what he had received, for the outer box looks as if it might have come from Aldi - if only my friend had looked inside he may have realised this was not a £7 bottle of firewater! Well presented, smooth and really nice to drink. :)

A bathtub shower accessory comprising a number of shield units, each securable to the tub and shower stall sidewalls in a manner to prevent water from exiting the shower area past the end edges of the shower curtain. The shield units are stackable one on top of the other for the desired height attainment and can include tray compartments on the interior facing side for holding soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, etc., or a towel rack holder.
1. A splash guard adapted to be used in a bathtub shower including a front ledge defining a horizontal surface and vertical enclosing walls adjacent said front ledge, the splash guard consisting of
first and second modular stackable panels formed of a durable plastic and having a decorative surface, the first panel adapted to be attached to the horizontal surface and the adjacent vertical enclosing wall, and the second panel adapted to be attached to a top edge of the first panel and the adjacent vertical enclosing wall; and
a shower accessory tray adapted to be attached to one of the first and second panels and the adjacent vertical enclosing wall.
Not applicable.
Not applicable.
Not applicable.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of bathroom accessories, and more particularly to a decorative shower splash shield.
2. Description of Related Art
As can be seen by reference to the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,855;642; 3,952,337; 4,189,790; 4,765,001; 4,944,050; and 5,274,859, the prior art is replete with myriad and diverse shower splash guards.
While all of the aforementioned prior art constructions are more than adequate for the basic purpose and function for which they have been specifically designed, they are uniformly deficient with respect to their failure to provide a simple, efficient, and practical modular bathtub shower splash guard.
As a consequence of the foregoing situation, there has existed a longstanding need for a new and improved bathtub shower splash guard and the provision of such a construction is a stated objective of the present invention.
Briefly stated, the present invention provides a bathtub shower accessory comprising a number of shield units, each securable to the tub and shower stall sidewalls in a manner to prevent water from exiting the shower area past the end edges of the shower curtain. The shield units are stackable one on top of the other for the desired height attainment and can include tray compartments on the interior facing side for holding soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, etc., or a towel rack holder.
These and other attributes of the invention will become more clear upon a thorough study of the following description of the best mode for carrying out the invention, particularly when reviewed in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the splash guard of the present invention installed on one side of a bathtub shower;
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the stackable modular panels; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the optional shower accessory tray used with the splash guard.
As can be seen by reference to the drawings, and in particularly to FIG. 1, the splash guard that forms the basis of the present invention is designated generally by the reference number 10. The splash guard 10 includes a number of stackable plastic decorative panels 20, 20' approximately nine inches wide that mount at each side of a bathtub shower by means of double sided adhesive tape or silicon adhesive. When installed, they run from the top of the tub edge 30 to the shower curtain rod, along the vertical enclosing walls 40. The panels 20, 20' feature colorful flowers and ornate designs so as to enhance the decor of the bathroom. A matching soap and shampoo tray 50 mount between the panels 20, 20' and the wall 40 allowing soap, shampoo, and toothbrushes to be conveniently stored. The panels 20, 20' come in numerous versions which stack on top of each other.
In use, the user simply mounts the panels 20, 20' at each side of their tub edge 30 along the adjoining walls 40. The optional soap and shampoo tray 50 is installed midway up in the comer of the inside wall 40, if desired. The user enjoys the benefit of having a method of preventing water from getting out of the tub and onto the floor while showering. The colorful decorative panels 20, 20' not only eliminate the need for an exterior shower curtain, but also enhance the decor of the bathroom. Use of the splash guard 10 provides a very practical and easy to use method of preventing water leakage while showering, in addition to adding an attractive new element to the decor of the bathroom.
Although only an exemplary embodiment of the invention has been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims.
Having thereby described the subject matter of the present invention, it should be apparent that many substitutions, modifications, and variations of the invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that the invention as taught and described herein is only to be limited to the extent of the breadth and scope of the appended claims.

Hi, My name is Angel. I am a bit of a workaholic but I am in love with my job and where I work. In my spare time I love going rock climbing and staying active by going to the gym. Being healthy and staying in shape is important to me. On the other hand I love to cook and try new foods. Lately I have gotten into going and trying new beers when I get the chance. As for what I am looking for in a guy, I want someone who can just hang out and relax with me or be up for a hike or random day trip to the coast. Fitness is important to me and I want someone who cares about taking care of themselves. A sense of humor and sarcasm is a must. Being a bit nerdy is always a plus :) Send me a message if you want to get to know me better.

But they also warn that compatibility problems between hardware and software applications, and a lack of joined up thinking from technology companies mean that the NHS is not benefiting as much as it could.

Forty-one people were killed in the giant blaze near the Carmel Mountains that started on Thursday. Thirty-six of the victims were prison guards on their way to Damon prison, and were killed when the fast-moving fire engulfed their bus in flames.The guards on the bus were part of a new officer's course that started this year, which received specialized training in order to improve prisoner treatment and become directors in the prison system. The course started on October 17 of this year and was supposed to conclude next March. The students were expected to be the next generation of leaders in the prison services.RELATED:Up-to-date

thanks Erdogan for airplanes to battle Carmel
fireEight funerals were held on Friday afternoon. Cmdr. Eli Gabizon, head of the southern district prison guards and was in charge of 13 of the guards on the bus tried to attend as many funerals as possible on Friday. "We were like a family and they were all my children, it's really hard," Gabizon told Israel Radio . "But we will grow from this. It's a strong organization, and it will support us. But we've taken a huge blow today and it's so painful.""The families ask hard questions. But they know this was their work, and we had to do it. Many times I went to a family to comfort them and it ended up that the families were comforting me," Gabizon added.Family and friends remembered their loved ones as they tried to grapple with the senseless tragedy. "We couldn't have expected this, we're still trying to understand it and believe it," a family friend of Hagai Zolo, 28, from Kiryat Gat, told the media on Friday. "He always did the best for everyone," she added."We heard it on the news that there was a bus of guards that was on fire, and we called and called and called him, but he didn¹t answer," said the brother of Ronen Pereg, 34. Pereg was the father of two.Hundreds gathered in Yavne on Friday to bid farewell to Maor Ganon, 27, another prison service officer.Haim Furman, a friend of Ganon who was at the funeral described it as a send-off fitting a hero, with a 21-gun salute and representatives from the Prisons Service and Israeli rescue services coming to pay their respects.Furman said friends and relatives described Ganon as "the rock of his family, the sibling who can always be counted on." Furman added that family described him as "ambitious, determined, and focused" and asked time and again, who will they count on now to do the things that Ganon could always be depended on to do.His loved ones said it was his dream to serve his country as an officer of the Shabas.Ganon leaves behind his wife, Sivan, and three-year-old daughter Hila.On Saturday night, forensics experts had identified all of the 41 victims. Many of the victims were so badly burned that experts were using dental records and DNA to identify them. Forty of the bodies were held at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute while awaiting identification. Families of the victims were being hosted by families in the north.Among the victims of the fire were Dep.-Cmdr. Yitzhak Melina, Police Brigadier-Gen. Lior Boker, 57, from Pardes Hana and Firefighter Uri Smandayev, from Migdal Haemek.

Some amusing things were overheard in Crayford
PEOPLE say the funniest – and often silliest – things, sometimes speaking before engaging brain.
News Shopper went back to Crayford for another quick eavesdrop and reporter David Archer came back with these little gems.
Woman: How much would you pay for this game (Zelda Wind Waker)?
Shop assistant: That's a really rare game.
Woman: Oh... I have just sold it on Ebay for a tenner.
Shop assistant: What, it's worth at least three times that.
Woman: I best cancel that sale then!
Pets at Home
Mum and son looking at rabbits.
Mum: Oh they are so cute.
Son: No, it's ugly.
Mum: How about him?
Son: Oh he's nice, can we get him.
Mum: Yeah ok
Man: What's the voltage of a lemon?
Shop assistant: Half a watt.
A customer bought a PC case for £20 and had a complaint.
Man: This doesn't work.
Shop assistant: What do you mean?
Man: It won't turn on.
Shop assistant: It's not a PC, it's just a case for one.
Man: Oh, I feel like such an idiot.
Pound Town
Two friends in Pound Town.
Man: How much does this cost?
Man: A pound.
Man: Oh... right.
We'll be hearing what people have to say in Mottingham and Eltham next ...

Overheard in...Crayford: More of the funny things people say
"Overheard in...Crayford: More of the funny things people say" Wow really? Nothing funny here what so ever and actually quite boring.
How about using your limited talent and try writting about something else instead of trying to rip off the Facebooks "Overheard in the" page

Ewan McGregor and Rufus Sewell are to team up as part of a madcap SHAKESPEARE experiment at London's Globe theatre.
The two actors will play multiple roles in Hamlet as part of a midnight production of the classic play on 6 September (08).
It will mark the one-year anniversary of The Factory theatre troupe's first frenetic hit, during which castmates swapped characters during the show.
The idea became an instant hit and sold out shows have been taking place in and around London every Sunday for the past year.
They are advertised online at the last minute.
The one-off Globe anniversary show, in which Sewell and MCGregor will play multiple characters, will also feature actor Will Keen, Angus Wright and "an exceptionally special guest".

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This Extension is quite handy for saving space on the URLbar for HTTP addresses. I have been testing it with the tgrsc Extension Glassy Urlbar and found no evidence of mutual interference.
One combination of preferences, that I use between this Extension, the aforementioned tgrsc Extension, and the patrickjdempsey Extension Combine Buttons, utilizes the combined Stop/Reload between Back and Forward ( [ Reload Stop * { Throbber Back/Forward [ Home URLbar ), with the following Settings this Extension:
*Always show Go button
*Hide the Bookmark button (said button being redundant where Bookmark This Page Plus is used)
*Hide Security Info (optional)
I deliberately unset "Yellow on secure Webpages" as a hedge against visual artifacts from potential interference with Glassy Urlbar. The aforementioned should work nicely with any Strata-based Theme.
