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.
