Birders -

I just finished entering my Ohio records into eBird. I find that I picked up
18 "lifers" on our recent trip to Ohio (not just with this list, but also
very special records at Metzger Marsh).

It is really not a very impressive number when you consider that I went from
128 to 146 life species, and some of y'all are posting far more than that by
just using pedal power for the BGBY, but I am so happy! It has been a great
spring!

I just hope that with the predicted fall back in temperatures that it might
continue awhile longer for the "second wave" of "fall-out" migrants.

Go bird! NOW!

is much harder!

the professional guides, but also just "regular birders" who shared
