Hello! Yesterday evening, I stopped by the Charlie's Pond area in southern Pickaway County. Driving slowly along Radcliffe Road, Westfall Road, Jefferson Road, and the gravel road to the Scippo Water Treatment facility, I heard and/or saw the following birds (no Rails): Dickcissel-3 or 4 along Westfall Road Grasshopper Sparrow-3 Henslow's Sparrow-heard 2 Blue Grosbeak-pair together along gravel road to Scippo facility. Female had nesting material in her beak. Brown Thrasher-1 singing on tip of branch next to singing Willow Flycatcher Willow Flycatcher-2 Indigo Bunting-3 Northern Harrier-2 cruising fields by Pickaway Co. airport entrance Eastern Meadowlark-several Common Yellowthroat-2 Barn Swallow-several Horned Lark-several Ring-Necked Pheasant (non-ABA)-numerous And on a non-birding note, I observed a Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrel along Radcliffe Road just west of the infamous Black Rail location of 2008. This area is accessed from U.S. Rte. 23 about 3.5 miles south of Circleville. In the DeLorme, this area is indicated on Page 68 D2.
