1/13/2009 This morning at about 9:30 I found a Pine Warbler on the OSU campus. Based on how brightly colored it was I'm guessing it was a male. It was foraging on the ground at the north edge of the Drake Union with the Dark-eyed Juncos and other passerines that frequent this spot. There are pine stands to the north and south of the Drake Union so it seems like this warbler could hang around for a while. There was also a Merlin in the area. The link below marks the exact spot where the Pine Warbler was seen foraging on the ground. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=39.99979,+-83.02311&sll=39.999904,-83.023451&sspn=0.000668,0.002146&ie=UTF8&ll=39.999935,-83.022924&spn=0.000334,0.000563&t=h&z=20 Good birding, Dave Slager Columbus OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
