Huffman Metropark is part of the Dayton Five Rivers Metroparks system. I decided to play hooky during my weekend errands, and visited the park on 11/3 from noon - 2 pm. There were: 6 double-crested cormorants * 15 ring-billed gulls * 2 belted kingfisher * song sparrow * wood duck northern flicker * (nest cavity found) mallard * northern cardinal * downy woodpecker pileated woodpecker tufted titmouse dark-eyed junco mourning dove * a flock of Canada goose * white-breasted nuthatch * Cooper's hawk (watched it hunt, and saw it just miss getting a bird on the wing) turkey vulture Two weeks before (10/21), I saw all of the birds above with an asterick at the same park. I also saw: American robin great blue heron American goldfinch ruby-crowned kinglet yellow-rumped warbler common starling blue jay ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
