I apologize for this late post, but I was unable to get to a computer until today.

I visited Hog Island WMA on Sunday (9/18/05). While I did not see the WHITE PELICAN that had been reported, by luck I was able to see a SORA. The SORA was investigating the edge of the southern impoundment. Other birds included an immature R.-H. WOODPECKER, a MAGNOLIA WARBLER, two WHITE-R. SANDPIPERS, an ACADIAN FLYCATCHER, a SUMMER TANAGER, and a few species of shorebirds.

Earlier the same morning, I wandered around a wooded area near my house in Portsmouth, heard a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK and saw a SUMMER TANAGER and a BALTO. ORIOLE.
