Since Martindale Rd. and Old Springfield Rd. are closed due to flooding of the Stillwater River, we walked from the closed gates east on Old Springfield Rd. and west on Martindale Rd. Saturday and Sunday morning sightings: Northern mockingbird Song sparrows (everywhere!) Brown-headed cowbirds Hooded mergansers Am. crows Eastern meadowlarks White-throated sparrows TVs Grackles RWBBs Killdeers Eastern towhee Great blue herons Brown thrasher Tree sparrows Tree swallows Blue-winged teal Wood ducks Eastern phoebe Pine warbler - heard No. flicker Red-bellied woodpecker Am. coot Field sparrow No. shovelers Red-tailed hawk Coopers hawk And all the regular "stuff" Also saw first butterfly of the season for us. We didn't have our butterfly book so guess it will just have to be "A QUESTION MARK"? Ed and Bev Neubauer Englewood, Ohio ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
