We had our monthly bird walk this morn -- scheduled at the end of the month to try to pick up some migrants. Much of the Glen was quiet, although a (probable) Swainson's thrush came through the bird blind. We also had a nice mixed flock of very skittish warblers on the rim trail around Baldwin Pond. I missed the first part of the hike -- expertly led by Ruth Lapp and Ruth Paige, so I might be missing a few species. That said, here is what we found: Cooper's hawk Turkey vulture Mourning dove Ruby crowned hummingbird Downy woodpecker Red-belied woodpecker Eastern wood pewee Red-eyed vireo Blue jay Carolina chickadee Tufted titmouse White breasted nuthatch Carolina wren Swainson's thrush American robin Gray catbird Magnolia warbler Chestnut sided warbler Yellow rumped warbler Black and white warbler Northern cardinal Eastern towhee Common grackle Indigo bunting American goldfinch Our next bird walk will be Saturday September 11. We'll start from Grinnell Mill (at the intersection of Grinnell Rd. and Bryan Park Rd) at 8 am. Hopefully, fall migration will be in full swing! -Nick -- Nick Boutis Director, Glen Helen Ecology Institute Antioch College 405 Corry St. Yellow Springs, OH 45387 [log in to unmask] 937-769-1902 www.glenhelen.org ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
