I was able to get a good hike in along the Grand River in Perry Twp. yesterday (3-22) and heard a couple of phoebes calling away. Juncos were trilling and I startled a male wood duck from a tree along the river. Of course, the local residents were singing as well. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
