These Metroparks are in Montgomery County (Dayton). FOY = First Of Year At Eastwood I had: Canada Goose Mallard Canvasback Ring-necked Duck American Wigeon Common Goldeneye (Female) Carolina Chickadee Wood Duck Hooded Merganser Belted Kingfisher Bufflehead At Twin Creek: Crow White-throated Sparrow Tufted Titmouse (very vocal) Grackles Red-breasted Nuthatch (FOY) Robin (they were making so much noise flipping leaves looking for food that it sounded like an army going through the woods) Starling Cardinal Hermit Thrush (FOY) American Woodcock (I was able to watch it probing the soil for about 5 minutes before it realized I was there. I was only about 20 feet away. I went back later to watch the skydance that started about 6:45. It was early enough that I was able to watch the bird through binoculars as it circled overhead).
