Sorry for the late post... Yesterday (5/2) another naturalist and myself took an afternoon to 'Pre-float' a section of Greenville Creek in in preparation of the next day's program. Although we were SUPPOSED to be timing to the float to make sure it could be done in under an hour, we got a little sidetracked, and started birding the section (probably "shouldn't" have brought the binocs!) We were on the stretch from Bear's Mill to Gettysburg. Here's the list! (BTW, the stretch took us 2.5 hours because of the paddling UP-stream we had to do to watch the birds!) Location: Greenville Creek - Bearsmill-gettysburg Observation date: 5/2/07 Number of species: 40 Canada Goose Great Blue Heron Turkey Vulture Red-tailed Hawk Spotted Sandpiper Mourning Dove Chimney Swift Belted Kingfisher Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Northern Flicker Eastern Phoebe Warbling Vireo Blue Jay American Crow Northern Rough-winged Swallow Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse White-breasted Nuthatch Carolina Wren House Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet American Robin Gray Catbird European Starling Nashville Warbler Northern Parula Yellow Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Yellow-throated Warbler Palm Warbler Field Sparrow Song Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Northern Cardinal Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Orchard Oriole Baltimore Oriole American Goldfinch -- Robb Clifford -Naturalist- Darke County Parks www.darkecountyparks.org ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
