Hello all, I met up w/ Andy Newman up at the Kokosing Gap bike path near the BFEC (Brown Fam. Enviro. Cent.) and we had a good day along that in the morning. First Great Crested Flycatcher of theseason. WE also walked the BFEC property that is off of 229 across the road from the center and had some great looks at a Worm-eating Warbler that I heard and then we found. Next was a Hooded Warbler, then in the perched grassy wetland we had a SEDGE WREN, that was awesome, again I heard it calling first, he was as bit shy but came out a little, plenty good enough to see, not sure if we got a photo or not.
