Today I took advantage of the pleasant weather to clean nest boxes at the preserve. Bird activity was moderate and mostly what one would expect this time of year. I did observe several species worth posting. I also had a red fox almost walk into me while I was taking a rest break. Birds of note: Blue-winged Teal Green-winged Teal Northern Shoveler WILLET Greater Yellowlegs Long-billed Dowitcher Barred Owl Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Brown Creeper Red-breasted Nuthatch CONNECTICUT WARBLER Yellow-rumped Warbler Charlie Bombaci ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
