Most all the birds sang all day.  I heard the songs
everywhere.  Seeing the birds was another story.  They
hide well at Shawnee.  I only actually saw one or a
few of each species.  Four warblers I heard but never
did see were:  Blue-winged, Northern Parula, Magnolia,
and Prairie)

A trip to the end of Moore's Lane (east of the forest)
yielded additional sightings:

Killdeer
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper

A stop by the Pickerington Airport yielded one of
their special striped squirrels.  A loop to the west
and then back east on the next road to the north
yielded:

Wilson's Snipe
Rock Dove
Horned Lark
