Generally we take a nightly trip traveling west on Garfield Road just North of Oberlin until we reach the Green Road block of Wakeman, Our friends on Green Road reported their first Ruby Throat Hummingbird on Sunday (April 1) across from Camp Timberline. They've put up feeders but haven't seen another since. They also report that each morning they are greeted with the sight of a pair of wood ducks perched in the tree outside their bedroom window. That's about 60 feet above the Vermillion River tributary . A great way to start the day. It's a terrific birding area among our sightings yesterday and Monday: 2 Pileated Woodpeckers ( Bridge on Green Road) 4 Turkeys (Field South of Camp) 13+ Vultures (they roost at the corner of the Camp along Green Road) 3 Bluebirds - Gore Orphanage Road & Ward intersection 1 Meadowlark - Ward Road 1 Phoebe - bridge on Green Road 2 Wood Ducks - The rains have increased a marsh area on Ward Road east side of road It's worth the trip. In addition to the birds, you'll see a large herd of deer. (13) on Green. Ward has a herd of 9 and Gore Orphanage has periodic sightings of lesser amounts. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
