This morning I birded at Pine L. and Yellow Creek Park in eastern Mahoning Co. Songbird diversity is picking up around here; most are likely returning to local nesting territories. At Pine L. were 12 wood ducks, blue-winged teal, osprey, Wilson's snipe, warbling vireos, wood thrush, c. yellowthroat, scarlet tanager, vesper sparrow, swamp sparrow, and rose-breasted grosbeak. Yellow Creek Pk. had barred owl, belted kingfisher, Carolina wrens, blue-gray gnatcatchers, 5 yellow-rumped warblers, and Baltimore oriole. In Poland and Coitsville Twps. the last few days I found 5 wild turkeys, Cooper's hawk, red-shouldered hawk, Am. kestrel, ruby-crowned kinglet, and rose-breasted grosbeak. Craig Holt, Lowellville
