Greetings... Steve Pelikan and I came across a pair of Bell's Vireos along a bike trail at the Ellis Lake Wetlands in West Chester, Butler County, Sunday morning. The birds were in a bush honeysuckle-locust climax forest, along a ditch and cement culvert riparian corridor. It's a specialized habitat in our area, usually created by Caterpillars. There was also a second-year male Blue Grosbeak singing and flying back and forth along the same tree line. Take care, ---Mike Busam Butler County, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
