Hello everyone, Rick Asamoto, Shane Egleston and myself birded along the Great Miami River yesterday from Miamisburg to just above the Stewart St bridge in Dayton. We also stopped by the West Carrolton gravel pit on Farmersville-West Carrolton Rd and Woodland Cemetery next to UD. We saw the following species: Pied-billed Grebe Great Blue Heron Snow Goose Canada Goose Gadwall Mallard Black Duck Pintail Canvasback Redhead Ring-necked Duck, Common Goldeneye Bufflehead Hooded Merganser Common Merganser Bald Eagle Red-tailed Hawk Killdeer (along river bank at Sun Watch Village) Ring-billed Gull Mourning Dove Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Red-bellied Woodpecker Horned Lark Carolina Wren Robin Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Starling Mockingbird Song Sparrow Juncos Cardinal Goldfinch House Sparrow At the gravel pit 6 swans flew across the road just as we pulled up so we could not get definitive looks but we believe they were trumpeters (2 adults and 4 immatures). The wind had picked up by the time we got to the cemetery and it was pretty quite so we did find the Red-breasted Nuthatches that Dave had reported earlier in the week.
