I stopped by Caesar Creek SP on the way home from work this evening and
stopped at the Gorge, Visitor Center and the Hopewell Lodge Wetland
area. Birds seen at these sites (in reverse order):

Wetland

Short-ear Owl (2) they came up about 5:30.
Barred Owl (heard only)
Song Sparrow
Swamp Sparrow
Eastern Towhee
Cardinals

Visitor Center

Red-bellied Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
White Throated Sparrow
Cardinals
White Breasted Nuthatch
Junco
I did not see any gulls or other birds on the lake when I drove over the
dam.

Gorge

Winter Wren
Pileated Woodpecker
Flicker
White Breasted Nuthatch
Great Blue Heron
Downy Woodpecker
Belted Kingfisher
Robin

At both the Wetlands and the Gorge there were large flocks of Blackbirds
flying over. It was too dark to positively identify most but it looked
like the majority were Grackles and Cowbirds.
