Hello!

Yesterday evening, I stopped by the Charlie's Pond area in southern
Pickaway County.  Driving slowly along Radcliffe Road, Westfall Road,  Jefferson
Road, and the gravel road to the Scippo Water Treatment facility, I  heard
and/or saw the following birds (no Rails):

Dickcissel-3 or 4 along Westfall Road
Grasshopper Sparrow-3
Henslow's Sparrow-heard 2
Blue Grosbeak-pair together along gravel road to Scippo facility.   Female
had nesting material in her beak.
Brown Thrasher-1 singing on tip of branch next to singing Willow  Flycatcher
Willow Flycatcher-2
Indigo Bunting-3
Northern Harrier-2 cruising fields by Pickaway Co. airport entrance
Eastern Meadowlark-several
Common Yellowthroat-2
Barn Swallow-several
Horned Lark-several
Ring-Necked Pheasant (non-ABA)-numerous

And on a non-birding note, I observed a Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrel
along Radcliffe Road just west of the infamous Black Rail location of  2008.

This area is accessed from U.S. Rte. 23 about 3.5 miles south of
Circleville.  In the DeLorme, this area is indicated on Page 68 D2.
