Yellow-crowned Night-Heron: On the 25th Bill Whan observed a total of 10
young in the two nests at Preston Road, Columbus. The departure of the
colony is expected in early July.

Mississippi Kite: The Mississippi kite at the Brass Ring Country Club golf
course in Logan, Hocking County, has been seen throughout the week by
multiple observers. There is evidence that there is be a breeding pair.
Please report any evidence of multiple birds or of breeding-related
behavior.

King Rail: Sandy Brown's find at a marshy area west of the boat ramp at
Turkeyfoot Lake State Park, Summit County, was still present on the 27th.

Upland Sandpiper: David Hess passed along a report that one was seen on
the 21st at the Hopeton Earthwork Unit of Hopewell Culture National
Historical Park, Chillicothe. Unfortunately, this is a research unit not
currently open to the public. Although stymied by the National Park
Service, you can try your luck with the Department of Homeland Security:
Craig Holt passed along information that "Uppies" are present at the OSU
Airport (Don Scott Field), Columbus, at the Harrison County Airport,
Cadiz, and possibly at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton.

Glaucous Gull: Phillip North reports a probable immature Glaucous Gull at
the temporary wetland south of the Lowes Parking lot at the Junction of
I270 and S. High Street (US 23), Columbus. It was seen throughout the week
most recently on the 28th.

Eurasian Collared-Dove: The pair at Fort Jefferson, Darke County, was seen
by multiple observers on Saturday, the 23rd, then apparently received
little attention during the week. They seem to favor the utility poles
east of town along Weaver-Fort Jefferson Rd but may be found elsewhere.
Tom Barlett and Dave Hershey missed the Fort Jefferson birds on the 26th
but found three previously unreported ones in West Manchester, Preble
County.

Bell's Vireo: Bob Royse found one singing on private land near Deer Creek
State Park, Pickaway County, on the 25th.
