Saturday January 15, 2011 was the 6th annual The OOS @ The Wilds. It was a fun day for approximately 120 birders spread out across the 10,000 hilly, grass-covered acres. Past annual counts are, 2011–54; 2010–53; 2009–43 (sub-zero temperatures).
Following is a complete species list for the day, with a few comments.
Thank You to all who attended and made the day fun for all Ohio birders in attendance. Mark this same weekend on your 2012 calendar – see you there.
