I went over to Lawrence Woods yesterday on the way to work. (Just
outside of Kenton on Co Rd 190, off of 292)

Usually there is a warbler or two over there when they are migrating.
but not yesterday.  It was more of a woodpecker day; Pileated, Flicker,
and Red bellied...oh my! ;-)

Also seen were:

Field sparrows
Song Sparrows
Winter Wren
Cardinals
 Blue Gray Gnatcatchers building a nest (got pics :-D)
Robins

But the best part of the trip for me was the flowers

Marsh Marigolds are at their prime.
White Trillium are spectacular.
A few Nodding Purple Trills were just coming out.
I saw three different colors of phlox, two shades of purple and a white
Preacher Britches were plentiful.
Bloodworts haven't opened up yet.
Trout Lilies are just finishing up.
False Solomon's Seal were just starting
I saw a few Jack in the Pulpits
Lots of other flowers are scattered along the board walk.

That's about it.
Pics including Gnatcatcher nest are here:
