I saw an Eastern Bluebird on the overlook trail at Blendon Woods today. It was a surprise to me to see one in the forest. Every bluebird I've ever seen was in a meadow or right on the edge of a meadw. I never thought I'd see one in the deep woods. Also seen: Hooded Merganser Lesser Scaup Mallards Black Ducks Canada Geese Wood Duck Decoys (ha-ha) Northern Cardinals House Sparrows Tree Sparrows Carolina Chickadees Tufted Titmice Northern Flicker Hairy Woodpeckers Downy Woodpeckers Red-Bellied Woodpeckers Mourning Doves White-Breasted Nuthatches Red-Breasted Nuthatches Dark Eyed Juncos Cooper's Hawk Blue Jays American Crows Barred Owl (also a surprise since it was still daylight) Heard but not seen: Red-Tail Hawk Pilated Woodpecker (in several areas of the park) ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
