I am thinking about heading up to bird in the 64 blocks on Saturday. Can anyone tell me if any of this area has been worked recently for the Winter Bird Atlas? I want to concentrate my effort if some of the area has been worked. Also, would anyone want to join me for the day? It looks like the upper reaches of the Whitewater River are in these blocks and a stream called Maple Swamp Ditch. This has to have some good birds. I will also be looking for Eurasian Collared-Dove in West Manchester. Can anyone tell me if the Darke County Long Ear Owl is still around and where to locate it? Please respond to me privately and thanks in advance for any help.

There has been some e-mail traffic on the Ohio Winter Bird Atlas blocks and which ones have been spoken for on the atlas blocks with no coverage/little coverage list. Check out the WBA blocks that need covered on our website to see where you can help www.bsbobird.org <http://www.bsbobird.org/> Here are the blocks that have someone willing to cover this January and this leaves many more to do so if you have time please help out! 27D5 34D2 34D3 34D4 38B1 38B2 38B3 38D1 38D2 38D3 44A2 44A3 44A4 44B2 44B4 45A5 45A6 45A7 46B1 46B2 46B3 46C1 46C3 51B5 51C7 52B1 52B2 52D1 52D3 54D4 57A5 57B5 60D4 61A5 61B6 61C5 61D5 62A3 62A4 62B1 62C4 62D1 62D4 64A1 64A2 64A3 64A4 64B4 67A6 67B6 67C5 67C6 67D6 69C7 74A6 74D1 Thanks again!
