Yesterday I hiked the 2 mile Dogwood trail at Beaver Creek State Park in
Columbiana Co.  Water was high and there was significant flooding on the
first half of the loop...it took some impromptu bridge building and a few
less than graceful maneuvers to make it through.  The payoff was a very
cooperative Kentucky warbler and a flyby Fish crow on the interior side of
the trail.  This Kentucky was presumably the same male that I saw last week,
but at least one additional bird was heard here as well.  The Fish crow flew
and called overhead not far from the same area.  It was alone and not
associating with any American crows.  I have encountered this species in
both Florida and Massachusetts so I am familiar with their call and
comfortable with the ID.  Ebird shows several recent reports nearby in
western PA.  There were plenty of other warblers around but most were heard
and not seen.
