John Beatty and I birded these spots plus a couple of quick runs through Ottawa, Metzger and Maumee Bay SP. This was John's first birding trip (he joined the BSBO youth birding group so I hope he gets to meet other young birders in our area of the State). Here is a partial list: Plovers/Sandpipers: Killdeer, Solitary, Spotted, and Wilson's Snipe. Warblers: Nashville, Parula, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Cape May, Black-throated Blue, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Green, Blackburnian, Palm, Blackpoll, Black-and-white, American Redstart, Prothonotary, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, Common Yellowthroat, Hooded. Tanagers: Scarlet Sparrows: Chipping, Lark, Song, Lincoln's, Swamp, White-throated, White-crowned. Blackbirds: Red-winged, Eastern Meadowlark, Western Meadowlark (Wood County and fist bird of the day), Common Grackle, Cowbird, Baltimore Oriole. Others: Ruddy Duck, Black-capped chickadee (feeding young on the boardwalk at MaGee, one of the fledglings actually came out of the nest hole to give us excellent looks at him; I don't recall having ever seen a Black-capped on the boardwalk before), House and Winter Wrens, Purple Finch at BSBO feeders John's favorite birds were the Prothonotary Warbler and Baltimore Oriole. I think most of us would agree with him.
