Hi Folks!



Not sure what to speak about first, but I will start with tomorrow is the
Ottawa NWR CBC. People are meeting at the trail parking lot at 0800 to
disperse from there.

This morning a Clay-colored Sparrow was spotted twice at our feeder on Bodi
Rd. first white house on east side from SR 2 east of Crane Creek State
Park/Magee Marsh W/A. It was seen early this morning hanging out with a
couple Field Sparrows and a lot of Am. Tree Sparrows. About an hour ago it
was out there again with E. House Sparrows. The feeder was empty so I filled
it and had not seen it after that. Anyone is welcome to check it out but
please view it from the road. The feeders are on the south side of the
house. I also ventured to Ottawa NWR walking my dog this morning and had the
great opportunity of viewing an immature Sharp-shinned Hawk fly into a flock
of Am. Tree Sparrows. It flew right over my head with a catch! So many good
things to see in January! Hmmm. And it is a good opportunity to help out
with the Ohio Winter Bird Atlas Project.

Have a good day,
