Hi Birders!

It was nice to see and hear two Sedge Wrens at Battelle Darby Creek Metro
Park this morning, both of them along the dryer parts of the Teal Trail, one
of them singing and the other calling, but both also giving really good
visuals! (as always, there were also zillions of Marsh Wrens singing in the
reeds). Just in case you want to try and see/photograph Sedge Wren, I can
give detailed directions to the ones I saw (just e-mail me).

As usual, there were stacks of "singing" (if you can really call it that)
Henslow's Sparrows (mainly along the Harrier Loop but also a couple of them
along the dryer parts of the Teal Trail. I showed these to some very nice
visiting birders from Texas the other day, who were very excited about
finally catching up with this species - these Henslow's really do always
tend to show well (close to the trail and all) and are pretty cooperative!

Other highlights were a Least Bittern that actually flew into the reeds and
sat there, giving amazing views, and an American Bittern standing in the
water/reeds right next to the trail (I've seen American Bitterns - almost
always flying though - on all 8 out of 8 visits I've made to Battelle Darby
during June and July this year).

And as always, this is a great place for Virginia and Sora Rails.

If anyone wants to join me at this site, let me know - 6 am on Tuesday would
work well - early morning is always best (not that the late morning in the
heat today was bad!).

Cheers!

Chris
