Shaune Skinner and I had an extraordinary birding day today. We found a Golden Winged Warbler at Greenlawn Dam at around 11 am. It was in a flock of White Throated Sparrows,Chickadees and Cardinals. The bird was moving with the flock, N to S and we had very good looks at it on the paved path just to the north of the bridge. Later we saw a yellow flash in the vines covering the fences near the fireman burning pile of skids. Rob Thorn joined us and confirmed that as a Golden Crowned Kinglet. He did not observe the warbler. Hopefully someone will see the bird this weekend and verify the ID. Other sightings of note: Greenlawn Cemetery - Merlin, Purple Finch, Red Tail (2) Confluence - Hooded Merganser(18), Great Blue Heron (2),Immature Eagle Watermark Quarries - Mute Swans (2),Robins (75) Greenlawn Dam - Brown Creeper (4 or 5),Kingfisher (under the bridge), Carolina Wren (2) ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
