Lake Hope State Park & Zaleski State Forest are located 15 miles from
Nelsonville (Rte 33) off of Rte3 278. I spent 2 mornings at these with a
California Birder-Calvin Walters. We viewed many Warblers & Songbirds &
many young. Below is some of our observations. For more detail about

The orange feathers on its head stood up! Then on the ground I see a young
going left. The one Adult is perched about 2 feet off the ground-very
excited. The other
                                 adult was on the ground, with its wings
hanging down. It kept going in the opposite direction the young went. Once
we followed the Adult a short distance away from the young it flew away
