Sunday, I was tired of staying at home, so I decided to go down to the Castalia area & do a little birding. Near the junction of US20 (North side of Fremont) & US6N, I saw 3 vultures circling. The lower one was a Black Vulture. Good start. I stopped at Pickerel Creek WMA. As I was walking up to the lookout, I saw the Marsh Wren I was hoping - under the lookout. After climbing the lookout, I saw mostly pretty common birds, GB Herons, G Egrets, C Geese & some Redheads. Then I saw an Upland Sandpiper fly, off to the northwest. In one of the other ponds, about 1/2 mile north, I flushed a Little Blue Heron & a House Wren. Didn't see much interesting around Castalia itself, so I went to Medusa Marsh. Saw nothing but C. Geese. It was very windy on Lake Erie, which chased the birds away from the shore, so I started working my way back towards Toledo. Not much, so I decided to go to McGee Marsh. I sat on the Lookout for about 2 hours & it was fairly good. Seen were Warbling Vireo, Kentucky Warbler, Crested Flycatcher, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Eastern Phoebe, Baltimore Oriole & Mockingbird, plus a lot of various blackbirds. Time to go home. V.
