Hi Folks: I did a little after-work atlasing last night at Kiwanis-Dublin Riverside Park. Decent variety of birds, highlight being an Olive-sided Flycatcher that I observed for about five seconds on the top of a tall tree before it dove down and vanished. Several Great Crested Flycatchers were present, along with at least one singing Yellow-Throated Warbler (I'm pretty sure they breed in the sycamores here, but I haven't been able to get a confirmation beyond a T7) and singing American Redstarts. A solitary female Hooded Merganser was present on the Scioto River, with a few of the resident Canada Geese and Mallards. I caught snatches of what sounded like Prothonotary Warbler song, but never heard enough or saw the bird to confirm. There are nest boxes here for Prothonotaries, but many of them are occupied by Tree Swallows. I also observed an occupied nest but not enough of the bird on it for an ID. Other birds present: Downy Woodpecker Carolina Chickadee Chimney Swift Wood Duck Great Blue Heron Spotted Sandpiper Baltimore Oriole pair (Male carrying nesting material) Cedar Waxwings Red-eyed Vireo (Calling) Blue Jay Eastern Kingbird White-breasted Nuthatch American Robin Song Sparrow (singing) American Goldfinch European Starling (with fledglings in tree cavities) Not a bad couple of hours in this pleasant little spot. Kiwanis-Dublin Riverside Park is located just south of SR 161 (Dublin-Granville) road along US 33, Take the first right going south into Quarry Place. Andrew R.
