Sweaty Greetings, Just on my way to work and I decided to go "the back way" just for fun. (For me every way is the back way.:-) ) Yesterday, it entailed going down Phelps Rd/Township Hwy 308. I routinely see Horned Larks and sparrows of all kinds on that road. Going to and from the fields. Occasionally I see a Flicker. And Kingfishers and a Heron down by the stream. But yesterday I saw a Red Headed Wood Pecker feeding a youngin. I don't think that the area has been blocked out yet. But it is perfect for Woodies, lots of cover and a few dead trees scattered through out. The exact spot that I found it was here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=111124962307056523138.000454252cbe886becf71&ll=40.429211,-83.468456&spn=0.007007,0.0103&t=h&z=16 For the flora people out there, there is also a great spot for Trillium Grandiflora and Dutchman's Breeches. They are about 100 yards from the above location, and are located under the high tension wires that are there.
