Mid-morning this morning I had a chance for a walk around the grounds of Darke
County Parks' Shawnee Prairie
Preserve<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&geocode=&q=darke+county+parks&near=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.77566,105.732422&ie=UTF8&ll=38.410558,-95.712891&spn=48.011214,105.732422&z=4&iwloc=A>.
Located right outside Greenville, we've been waiting patiently for our
warbler list to grow larger. For the past couple of weeks we've had a large
number of Yellow-rumped Warblers throughout the woods, but no other
warblers... but today, I was finally (!) was able to turn up some additional
warblers!
That being said, enjoy the list below...and then get outside and Go Birding!

"We need another and a wiser, and perhaps a more mystical concept of
animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice,
man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge
and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We
patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having
taken a form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err.
For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more
complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions
of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall
never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other
nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners
of the splendor and travail of the earth."
