The cool weather last night apparently pushed a wave of warblers and some shorebirds south as I located both good numbers and variety at the Hoover Nature Preserve this morning. My intentions were good, to do nest box maintenance, but between good shorebirds on one side and warblers on the other, my good intentions took a hit. Along the shore and in the grassy area between the water and the tree line I located the following : Blue-winged Teal Green-winged Teal Northern Shoveler Great Egret Black-bellied Plover American Golden-Plover Semipalmated Plover Lesser Yellowlegs Ruddy Turnstone Sanderling Western Sandpiper Least Sandpiper White-rumped Sandpiper Pectoral Sandpiper Buff-breasted Sandpiper Short-billed Dowitcher The edge tree line produced an Olive-sided Flycatcher and an immature Bald Eagle The forested edge area that normally would be in water and along the old roadbed the following species were observed: Least Flycatcher Cedar Waxwing Blue-headed Vireo Ruby-crowned Kinglet Tennessee Warbler Nashville Warbler Northern Parula Chestnut-sided Warbler Magnolia Warbler Cape May Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Bay-breasted Warbler Blackpoll Warbler Black-and-White Warbler American Redstart Ovenbird Common Yellowthroat Wilson’s Warbler Canada Warbler Charlie Bombaci Hoover Nature Preserve Delorme 58 C (2) & (3) ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
