A very tired and life bird GREETINGS!

I had a great day yesterday on the boardwalk at Magee Marsh. Followed up by
watching and photographing the pile of Willets at Metzger Marsh.

Best part of the day is that I was FINALLY able to get my final typical
Ohio bird...an Orange-crowned Warbler. (There are a few others, but those
are the one day wonders that we all suffer from.

List highlights:

13 warbler species (I missed a Cape May that someone saw.)
14 Pelican flyover
60 Willet

After I left Metzger, I had 78 species.  By the time I drove through Oak
Harbor I had 80.  If i had been able to get everything mentioned seen on or
around the boardwalk, I would have had about 85...its getting downright
birdy out there. :-D
Lists bellow.

Happy Birding and God bless,

Steve J.
