5865 82 38_swifts and nighthawks in Dublin July 815_Darlene [log in to unmask], 9 Jul 2010 06:50:34 -0400472_us-ascii Last night I made an unexpected stop at Sells Middle School in Dublin along 161 just west of Dublin Rd. I was not disappointed. It was about 9:02pm and I pulled in behind the school near the tennis courts and the sound of swifts 'twittering' filled the area. By about 9:23pm all was quiet but in about 20 minutes I would estimate that 200 to 250 Chimney Swifts came swirling clockwise from all directions and entered the large school chimney.

Thanks to all who e-cajoled me into finally visiting this FANTASTIC site,
12 miles north of the I-71 intersection with I-271.
There were numerous Boblinks, singing Sedge Wrens (not the least bit shy),
but alas, I couldn't locate a convincing Henslow's.
If you decide to make the trek, the location is easily accessed from a
pull-off at the west end of the former Richfield Coliseum location, marked with
an IBA sign at the parking site. From there, I recommend going in (north)
and to the right (east) at about a 45-degree angle, near where the
cattails are more numerous, something like 1/4-1/3 mile walking distance.
If you can recognize the song, you can't miss it. There are dozens of
Boblinks as well, a nice surprise to me, most I've ever seen in Ohio.
Happy hunting -- it's worth the trip!
