If you need to use AOL or MSN, the best thing to do is to set up a free web-

Congratulations to Shirley Hales for photographing and publishing the
photo=20
of the male Western Tanager in Summerville on 30 January 2003. Unless someon=
e=20
has other information, this would be the first documentation of the
species=20
in SC. I have heard of other photos being taken, but I don't believe they=20
have been published or archived anywhere. The specimen that Evelyn Dabbs=20
picked up at a TV tower in Sumter Co. in the 70's was misplaced.=20
=A0=A0=A0=A0The Eurasian Collared-Doves' SC status should be revised to "com=

the coast." We banded 320 during September-December 2002 at one feeding=20
station on Sullivan's Island. About 75% of them were hatch-year,
presumably=20

Nelson's Sharp-tail has been rarely documented as occurring in the interior
of the Carolinas, especially north of the Fall Line. To my knowledge, all
confirmed reports pertain to the migration periods. The reported habitat is
also anomalous. I do not doubt the veracity of the observer, but this unusual
report should be further investigated.
