The Tucson Citizen is reporting that the Florida fire is threatening Madera Canyon, but it is expected that it will be saved. All of this is happening just prior to a meeting of the ABA in Tucson.

The Boston Globe (online) reports that due to security concerns, birding opportunities on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge have been limited. See the story here.

A list of dozens of birding hot spots for the Ohio portion of Lake Erie is now available at www.coastalohio.com. Also included is a Recent Sightings listing and a list of events (many of which are nature-related.) A list of 300 historic and natural areas is included on the site. To access only the top birding sites, visit the Events, Activities and News section at the top, and then click on Activities.
