Some casual birding at Oakwoods Nature Preserve near Findlay in Hancock County this morning turned up a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak. This bird was eating berries from a dogwood (I'm no expert on dogwoods, but I think it was Red-osier Dogwoood; whitish berries, white pith, reddish stems). Also present were Rusty Blackbirds in a mixed blackbird flock. For anyone interested in herps, I also heard a single Western Chorus Frog calling at Oakwoods.
Yesterday I hiked at Riverbend Recreational Area near Findlay (also a part of Hancock County Park District parks). Rusty Blackbirds were present in mixed blackbird flocks along the Blanchard River. I was surprised to hear the call of a Red-shouldered Hawk near the wetland area. Also present was a single Chipping Sparrow.
