Linda  and I took advantage of the great weather today and birded at Clear 
Creek Metro  Park in Hocking County. The temperature was comfortable, the 
sun actually  remained out all day and the birds did their part and also 
showed up. We had to  work for every bird until about 10:00 AM then suddenly 
activity really  accelerated. Hooded Warblers were the star of the day. We 
tallied almost 40  Hoodies. Common Yellowthroats were also very abundant with a 
count of about 30.  In all we had 90 species with 21 species of warblers. Our 
Black Vulture count,  one, was the lowest I’ve ever had for them at Clear 
Creek. I guess I’ll consider  it a trade-off for the Osprey Linda spotted as 
it flew along the creek. Vireos  were well represented with 5 different 
species. We took a break for lunch at the  Barnabey Picnic Area. As we ate we 
were serenaded on three sides by Hooded  Warblers.  The Clear Creek Valley is  
always a special place to visit.
