I had great looks at two different (late) Ovenbirds, a cooperative Winter
Wren, and a surprise Orange-crowned Warbler foraging along side two
Ruby-crowned Kinglets this morning on the OSU main campus in Columbus, in
the woods east of the Browning Amphitheater near Mirror Lake.

Also, just to reiterate Bob's previous email, if you haven't already read
Bob Royse's online info for birding the Deer Creek area, it really is a
must-read!

Deer Creek is probably the most under birded area within 45 minutes of
Columbus -- one could easily spend the entire day birding the wildlife
areas alone, especially during late fall migration.

Here are some photos of Nelson's and Henslow's sparrows from last weekend,

taken at, and just north of, the spot Bob's website indicates as the most
reliable spot for "orange sparrows" (also see this google

).

Good birding,
