Yesterday afternoon my home in central Worthington seemed to become bird central as a flock of robins surrounded the house. Nice as that was those robins seemed to attract other birds to join in the fun and the noise. Within 20 minutes I had seen all of the below listed birds with the highlight being a yellow-bellied sapsucker (female) who landed on an oak tree not 20’ from where I was taking photos of the throngs of birds. I was able to get a several shots of this bird and it was remarkable how well she blended with the bark of the oak. Then the party ended as quickly as it began as all the birds scattered (a hawk?) and were gone.
