Hi folks, A warm, bordering on hot morning for today's bird walk in the north section of Glen Helen. We didn't find the vast array of migrants we were hoping to see, but we did end up with a good, representative list. Upcoming bird walks include Sunday, May 3rd -- 8:00 am Saturday, May 9th -- Make it Count for the Birds, our 24 hour count. Last year we found 88 species in Glen Helen. Complete list of organized hikes at glenhelen.org And now, the morning list: Great blue heron Wood duck Mallard Canada goose Turkey vulture Cooper's hawk Mourning dove Eastern screech-owl Great-horned owl (young, in nest cavity) Belted kingfisher Red-belied woodpecker Downy woodpecker Hairy woodpecker Pileated woodpecker Eastern phoebe Great-crested flycatcher (not on our walk, but reported elsewhere this morning in Glen Helen) Blue jay American crow Carolina chickadee Tufted titmouse White-breasted nuthatch Carolina wren Ruby-crowned kinglet Blue-gray gnatcatcher Wood thrush American robin European starling Black-throated green warbler Yellow-rumped warbler Yellow-throated warbler Louisiana waterthrush Northern cardinal Eastern towhee Chipping sparrow White-throated sparrow American goldfinch Brown-headed cowbird Baltimore oriole (not on our walk, but reported elsewhere this morning in Glen Helen) Red-winged blackbird -Nick ------------------------- Nick Boutis Executive Director Glen Helen Ecology Institute 405 Corry St. Yellow Springs, OH 45387 Visit us online, at www.glenhelen.org ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
