Today was just a BEAUTIFUL day for the 37th Walk with Nature along the 
Miami-Erie Canal from St Marys to the Forty Acre Pond.
Along the trail we saw many Cedar Waxwings, Yellow Rumps, N Flicker, and 
Robins. And we probably missed many others but the trail was busy and noisy 
with hikers.

Yesterday, the Dave Dister graciously allowed me to join his Audubon group 
from Dayton at the St Marys Fish Hatchery.
There, we saw, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Least Sandpipers, Longbilled 
Dowitcher, Killdeer, Ringbilled Gulls, a Franklin Gull, Redtail Hawk, Double 
crested Cormorants, Bairds Sandpiper, Pectoral sandpiper and MANY Tree 
Swallows and a Chimney Swift surprised us. Today, the fish hatchery was 
barren! No LSB's!

We also saw a bird of different plumage. I'll try to attach the photo (which 
isn't very good - but maybe you can see well enough to advise as to its 
species!) --- OK, I'll post it (try to) on the OOS site. Sorry.

Oh, by the way, our TWO Bald Eagle nests are beginning to remodel their 
nests!! And the immatures are still hanging around, waiting for their travel 
itineraries and visas.
