My son and I birded an area not covered to date for the OBBA – Beartown Lakes – near Aurora and Bainbridge, OH http://picasaweb.google.com/mvalencic/BeartownLakesBirds and found 30 species with breeding evidence for the following: Wood Duck (three females with new ducklings) - pictures Mallard Duck (two females with young broods) - pictures American Robin juveniles Kingbird juveniles – pictures This is a nice birding spot if you are nearby. We spent about 2 ½ hours walking around and taking pictures. Covered picnic tables are available and paths are black top and gravel. Later I went over to Frohring Meadows and saw and photographed the following juveniles: American Robin Eastern Bluebird Bobolink Barn Swallow (last week) Rough-winged Swallow (last week) Here is a link to the pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/mvalencic/BirdsOfFrohringMeadows Also, heard the Sora in the wetland at least 4 times, always on the far side of the wetland. The Mallard hen is still leading her brood of about 9 or 10 ducklings around the area where I hear the Sora. I will be logging today’s findings on the OBBA when I get some time this week.
