Hey, you, Tennessee! There aint such a thing as a Tennessee vireo. And the Tennessee warbler doesn't breed south of Canada (except at a few edges).

There are a zillion species of warbler and a half-dozen vireos you might be looking at. Some likelies would be: yellow-throated vireo, red-eyed vireo, blue-headed vireo; pine warbler; yellow-throated warbler.

Here's the Cornell U. website, which has photos, songs, etc. Everything is there: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ten ... Warbler/id

Methinks that I have seen that bird somewhere . . .

Liberty University has pushed for criminal trespassing charges against two journalists who pursued stories about why the evangelical college in Virginia has remained partially open during the coronavirus outbreak.

But he (Jerry Falwell Jr.) said he has kept the campus open for international students and those with nowhere else to go. On Thursday, there were about 1,000 students living on campus, roughly one-eighth of its normal residential population.

Virginia Magistrate Kang Lee signed arrest warrants for Class 1 Misdemeanors against the two journalists, punishable by up to a year in jail. It’s up to Lynchburg Commonwealth’s Attorney Bethany Harrison to decide whether to prosecute, and she said Thursday she hasn’t seen any details on the case.

Liberty’s security forces investigated the journalists following publication of their articles, collecting witness accounts that they were on campus without permission, Falwell said.

He said it was a safety issue not to let outsiders in at a time of a global pandemic.

“When people are coming from known hot spots, we feel we owe it to our students and our parents not to let that happen,” Falwell said in an interview on Thursday. “The only way to send the message is to let them know they will be prosecuted.”

What’s really important is writing about a decision that goes against safety guidelines and puts people’s health at risk, said Richard Tofel, president of ProPublica. MacGillis’ article, headlined “What’s it Like on One of the Only University Campuses Still Open in the U.S.?” was published on March 26.

If you're smoking weed to ease your stress during the coronavirus pandemic, experts say it's time to think twice.

Smoking marijuana, even occasionally, can increase your risk for more severe complications from Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

"What happens to your airways when you smoke cannabis is that it causes some degree of inflammation, very similar to bronchitis, very similar to the type of inflammation that cigarette smoking can cause," said pulmonologist Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association. "Now you have some airway inflammation and you get an infection on top of it. So, yes, your chance of getting more complications is there."

"Because it attacks the lungs, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 could be an especially serious threat to those who smoke tobacco or marijuana or who vape," the NIH said in its announcement.

Coronavirus-related deaths in Louisiana stood at record levels Wednesday as the state sees conflicting signs over whether the spread of the virus is slowing.

Officials reported 70 new deaths Wednesday, matching Tuesday's tally for the highest number of deaths reported in one day. The new figure brings the death toll to 652.

Though deaths have spiked, the rate of growth of coronavirus-related hospitalizations is slowing, Gov. John Bel Edwards said during his daily press briefing. Edwards has previously said that state health officials believe they may be beginning to flatten the curve of the virus.

"The simple fact of the matter is that the number of new hospitalizations suggests that we are trending in the right direction, but thus far the number of deaths is higher than we want it to be to have corroboration of that, so the two most essential data points are not in agreement," Edwards said.

"Overall, we think we probably are heading in a better direction with a lower trajectory and that we are starting to flatten the curve, but we can't be sure yet," Edwards said.
