Great day to get out. Sunshine! A hike around the public hunting grounds and the refuge produced great birds today. Highlights were: Scarlet Tanager ...... male and female American Redstart Prothonotary Warbler Yellow-breasted Chat Common Yellowthroat Yellow Warbler Bobolink Red-headed Woodpecker Baltimore Oriole Eagles 2 immature Barred Owl In the bonus wildlife department I spooked an amazing River Otter. First time seeing one and was surprised at how big it was. An awesome sight for sure. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
