Greetings Had an interesting day of birding here in Wakeman, Lorain County. An American Redstart decided to observe the birds at the feeders from the deck railing. It took a long bath in the birdbath then perched on the back of a lawn chair just inches from the window. It stayed around for about an hour before it disappeared into the tree tops. A gorgeous bird. On the lower level I discovered two White-throated sparrow, our first this fall. We still have at least one RT Hummingbird at the feeders and our RB Nuthatches are competing with the regular birds, mostly goldfinches. Another first at the feeder was a red bellied woodpecker. I've heard it all summer but this was the first close-up view . Happy birding. I can't wait to see what the change in weather will bring in tomorrow. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
