For my birthday birding bash, I tried to hit the spots out in western Ohio
that tI haven't gotten to yet, and try to get some lifers out of my eBird
alert list. Then finish up the day getting my Big Island List caught
up...and get my wife a lifer duck. Long day, lots of birds.
Lists of my days travels are below. Not listed was Keiser Lake (I had to
stop and use the "facilities") I had White-throated Sparrows, a Parula
and a Yellow-throated Warbler calling in the trees.
Pics of everything on the lists, and a few on the Facebook page.
Happy Birding and God Bless
