I stopped by Caesar Creek SP on the way home from work this evening and stopped at the Gorge, Visitor Center and the Hopewell Lodge Wetland area. Birds seen at these sites (in reverse order): Wetland Short-ear Owl (2) they came up about 5:30. Barred Owl (heard only) Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow Eastern Towhee Cardinals Visitor Center Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker White Throated Sparrow Cardinals White Breasted Nuthatch Junco I did not see any gulls or other birds on the lake when I drove over the dam. Gorge Winter Wren Pileated Woodpecker Flicker White Breasted Nuthatch Great Blue Heron Downy Woodpecker Belted Kingfisher Robin At both the Wetlands and the Gorge there were large flocks of Blackbirds flying over. It was too dark to positively identify most but it looked like the majority were Grackles and Cowbirds.
