I was able to spend about 2 hours this afternoon (Sunday) at Greenlawn
Cemetery. I basically sat in my car at the feeders because it was raining,
but was able to get out and around for about 15 minutes between showers.
Here is a list of what I saw. For a new birder, this is a remarkable amount
of species in one day. I'm learning how to identify them!!! Didn't count
them because they kept coming back to the feeders often.

Chipping Sparrows
White-Throated Sparrows (plenty of these)
White-Crowned Sparrow
House Finch
Starling
Pine Siskin
PINE WARBLER (a first for me)
Carolina Chickadee
Dark-eyed Juncos (males and females)
Mourning Doves
Red-Breasted Nuthatch
White-Breasted Nuthatch
Belted Kingfisher (female)
Brown Thrasher (just one)
Eastern Towhee (both male and female)
American Goldfinch (lots of them on the niger feeder)
Northern Flicker
Downy Woodpeckers
Red-bellied Woodpeckers
Canada Geese
Mallards
Brown-Headed Cowbirds (both male and female in abundance)
Blue Jays (of course)
Cardinals
Robins

I swung past Columbus Audubon Park at Greenlawn Dam and saw 4 Cormorants in
the water, 2 Great Blue Herons, some Ring-billed Gulls, a few Mallards, and
of course Canada Geese.

On my way home I stopped at Prairie Oaks (far west side of Franklin County)
for just a few minutes and was rewarded with another first for me - a
Ring-necked Pheasant. What a marvelous bird to see!!! I also saw plenty of
Red-Winged Blackbirds.

Enjoyed the day even though the weather was not very spring-like.
