This morning I stopped at Weise Rd in the Hoover Nature Preserve where I observed 31 species. Highlights there were Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Semi-Palmated Plover,Chestnut-Side Warbler, American Redstart, and Black-Throated Green Warbler. As was the case last weekend, there were hundreds of Cedar Waxwings flying around. In the afternoon I stopped at Sharon Woods where I didn't see quite as many species but made some exciting (to me anyway) observations. Highlights there were Magnolia Warbler, Philadelphia Vireo, and Yellow- Bellied Sapsucker. I witnessed an Eastern Phoebe chasing a large flying insect and catch it. Moments later, the Phoebe moved on and an Eastern Wood Pewee took its place. A lone Orchard Oriole (maybe the last one left in Ohio right now?)made an appearance. After that I went home and found a Chickadee on my feeder tree. I have never had a Chickadee there before even though Carolina Chickadees live less than a quarter mile south of here. I wonder if it was a Black-Capped Chickadee coming south.
