Good Morning Everyone,
It was a great morning in Shawnee Forest.  The birds
were singing, the sun was shining, and I saw a grand
total of 5 other people in the 3 hours I spent driving
the roads.  I saw a total of 6 species of warblers,
not including Yellow-Rumped!  The species that I saw
were Yellow-throated Warbler, Black and White Warbler,
 Ovenbird, Louisiana Waterthrush, Prairie Warbler, and
American Redstart.  I also saw Blue-headed Vireo,
White-eyed Vireo, Wood Thrush, Ruby Crowned Kinglet,
Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher, Brown Thrasher, annd Wild
Turkey.  I heard quite a few grouse drumming.  Shawnee
is just a wonderful place to bird. I know that places
along Lake Erie may concentrate migrants in
spectacular ways, but for an all around great birding
experience it is hard to beat Shawnee.  If you have
never been there, you really should check it out this
spring.

Good birding,
Brad Sparks
Reynoldsburg
