When I was leaving the coliseum property Wednesday afternoon a young man was
coming in. We talked awhile and he said he was conducting some kind of
project (which college?) and that he would be walking transects and
identifying what he observed, including birds.  He took an ornithology
recently and said he knew his sparrows (I am envious).  I suggested he get
on the listserv and told him that many people posted observations that may
be of interest to him, especially recently archived postings.  He made
written record of the Ohio Birds website.

If he is now on the list perhaps he can share his research with us.

I finally made it to the coliseum property and easily found a pair of
sedge wrens and a singing henslow's sparrow. ( Thanks Scott Hannan for
the very useful directions.)

Otherwise lots of savannah sparrows, song sparrows, bobolinks and e.
meadowlarks.  A few cedar waxwings near the entry gate.

I tried to follow a trodden path to avoid disrupting the nesting
birds.  Scattered
about are small blue maker flags.  Does anyone know what they are for?
