On 13 May, I listed 2 Marsh Wrens at Leon County's Rhoden Cove (saw one). I know of only 2 later spring county records of the species -- 2 casualties at the WCTV tower 14 May 1958. Another record "on the ground" is of 3 individuals in east Leon County by David Harder on 10 May 1977. On this 13 May, a Screech Owl responded to a tape recording near the parking space where I have recorded the species in past years. What a fun place, Rhoden Cove!On 15 May a Ring-billed Gull flew over the Miccosukee Greenway where I also listed 3 "poky" female Bobolinks. On 17 May John Murphy alerted me both to a singing Swainson's Warbler and presence of 20 or more Cedar Waxwings at the Robert White Williams Birding Trail (RWW). later JM pointed out a western sandpiper at the Springhill Road Sewage Treatment Facility where we also encountered 2 White-rumped Sandpipers. We then saw 4 or the latter at Southwood along with 4 Semi-palmated Plovers, 3 Forster's Terns, and 1 Least Tern. The latest known spring county record for the Cedar Waxwings on 28 May 1969 in Tallahassee by James M Stevenson. The Swainson's Warbler is now listed at RWW as a viable songster for April, May, and June (2005 - 2007) (Mr.) Gail E.
