Started the moring out here in Allen County with a walk behind my house. right away I ran into a Black and White Warbler.  Walking on back  came across 2 American Redstart females.  Heard a Pileated. All the usuals moving about . Then I loaded up and went to the fish hatchery. 4 great egrets were there  as well as some shorebirds in pond 7 .  Couple Dowitchers and some sandpipers . With this pond having been drained I look for more to show up .  Also many kildeer. 2 Kingfishers. Over at Mercer Wildlife area , nothing. Had a Redtail Hawk on the wire just before I turned in there. On around on 127 headed into Celina  where the stone pulloff along 127 is there were 3 more great egrets in there.  On to West Bank park area back in where the turn around is  straight out on the lake  there is an island. A dead tree there had a blue heron at the top , in the middle an Osprey and on the bottom another blue heron and cormorant. Russell   Lima, Ohio
