Hi folks, Reporting here from boring old Magee Marsh, feeling jealous and unwanted due to the attention lavished on the Yoder residence in Holmes County! Just kidding. I had a great time this morning with Sandy Britt and Barbara Marbut, two birders from southern Illinois who are in town for the Midwest Birding Symposium. We missed Chris Knoll, who was planning on coming but was under the weather this morning. Here is what we saw in a half days' time: Canada goose Wood duck Mallard Blue-winged teal Double-crested cormorant Great blue heron Great egret Bald eagle Merlin Sora Killdeer Lesser yellowlegs Ring-billed gull Herring gull Caspian tern Mourning dove Belted kingfisher Red-headed woodpecker Downy woodpecker Northern flicker Eastern phoebe Blue-headed vireo Warbling vireo Philadelphia vireo Red-eyed vireo Black-capped chickadee White-breasted nuthatch Marsh wren Blue-gray gnatcatcher Gray-cheeked thrush Swainson's thrush American robin Gray catbird Brown thrasher European starling Cedar waxwing Magnolia warbler Black-throated blue warbler Blackpoll warbler American redstart Common yellowthroat Canada warbler Dark-eyed junco Northern cardinal Red-winged blackbird Common grackle American goldfinch House sparrow Jim Witter Seasonal Naturalist Sportsmen's Migratory Bird Center Magee Marsh Wildlife Area 13229 W.
