Greetings everyone!

Just wanted to report that there has been a white-eyed vireo singing outside
of the naturalist office here at Slate Run Metro Park (just southeast of
Columbus, part of the Columbus & Franklin County Metro Parks).  It's been
singing several times each day for the past 3 days, only for a minute or so
each time.  Thought that was interesting, considering that the little guy
should start heading south within the next couple of weeks.

Also, plenty of great egrets in the wetland area.  If you're lucky enough to
have something scare all the ducks off the water, you'll also see lots of
blue-winged teal, wood ducks, mallards, and canada geese.

I haven't had much time to bird at the park in the last few weeks, but I
quickly looked up in the trees on my way to a program and noticed tons of
birds moving around, feeding, and hanging from the poison ivy.  Good luck if
you have more time to spend birding there!

Enjoy!
