I went birding with Troy Shively today along with a few other brave souls.
We started off at dawn with Indian Lake and then progressed along the
shoreline till we got to the dam and then headed to private watering holes
and hotspots all around Logan County, ending up at Myeerah Nature
Preserve.  I then headed up to Lawrence Woods and birded a little there.
Not much special at Lawrence Woods...two Harriers, a Hairy Woodpecker came
out and said hi, but it is mostly quiet.

For individual lists, you can follow the links below.  My tally for the day
follows.:

46 Species found with the group.including a surprise Merlin...and a
dispatched Junco.  I had 54 species for the day.

Merlin list with a couple of pics..basic drive by birding at it's best.:
