Yesterday was at my nieces  for a gathering and was takin' a group photo of everyone  and my wife exclaimed ,,what are those birds behind you.  I looked and there were about 11 night hawks  circling ,feeding . It was about 5 'oclock.    This was in Lima  down the road from Teddy Bear Park .   Then we went to  Delphos , Ohio  to the Creamery  for some ice cream and again   rigth above the Creamery were 4 nighthawks   and many chimney swifts feeding.  Also  the last few days have been havin' a orange variant male Scarlet Tanager come to my garden pond.  Charlie Bombaci ID'd the pic I sent him . I knew it was a scarlet tanager  but not sure of the phase or sex because of the color . It is beautiful. I just heard the tanager outside and also a pileated woodpecker. I sure love the mornin's here.   Russell   Lima, Ohio
