Lake Hope State Park & Zaleski State Forest are located 14 miles west of
Nelsonville(Rte 33) off of Rte 278. I spent 2 days in the area. It was nice
& cool,so I birded all day long!! Below is a list of some of the birds
found. I had the 20 breeding Warblers & a late migrant-Canada Warbler.
.Akeena(my dog) & I were walking Hebron Hollow Trail. She was ahead of me
in the creek. I stopped for a moment on the trail. I saw movement on the
forest floor. It was an Ovenbird, which was watching Akeena.  As Akeena
walked farther from the Ovenbird, she turned toward me & slowly opened her
Brood Patch & sat down on her nest. As Akeena approached me on the trail,
she then saw me. She got up & disappeared. In about 30 seconds, I see this
little head surface above a leaf. She saw me & lowered her head &
disappeared again.
