Canadian Field-Naturalist 129(2): 115–120. We used automated sound recording devices and analysis software to search for Kirtland’s Warbler ( Setophaga kirtlandii ) in northeastern Ontario. In 2012, we conducted surveys at 38 locations in three Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources adminis - trative districts: Chapleau, Sault Ste. Marie, and Sudbury. We detected a Kirtland’s Warbler at one location in Sault Ste. Marie District on a single date: June 6. We believe that the recording and analysis approach we used is an effective method for detecting Kirtland’s Warbler, or other rare bird species, across extensive areas of their potential range.

"It is known, accepted, and proven that a candidate for office, whose names appear at the top of a list of candidates, has a distinct advantage." US SUPREME COURT DECISION Using data from the 1998 Democratic Primary in New York City, which uses an Equichoice type of name rotation, precinct by precinct, we illustrate conclusively that being listed in first position contributed an average of 3 differential or 6 statistical benefit to vote tallies. The State of Ohio, similarly, in its general election shows a 2.3% to 6% advantage for being listed first. The Analysis of the 1998 New York City Democratic Primary Elections The New York City democratic primary election was a vigorously contested affair.
