Today the Darke County Birders held their Labor Day in the County birding. We all went where we wanted to bird and then met for lunch. The best bird found was the American Avocet. New members, Mitsy Johnson and her sister Tina White found the bird at Woods Road wetlands. This private property wetland is right along a very quiet country road. The wetland right along the road is dried up, but the pond on the north side still has water and the avocet and dunlins and peeps were in the back of this area. Other birds seen this morning by our club include: great blue herons Can. geese mallards wood ducks red tailed hawks Cooper's hawks TV green heron killdeer starlings red headed, red bellied, downy, flickers C. wren warblers: Cape May, black and white, vireos blue headed and possible Philadelthia gold finches robins, cardinals, catbirds C. Chickadees swallows barn, chimney swifts bluejays and crows ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
