> Had an olive-sided flycatcher begging for beer Thursday afternoon in Worthington (seems a tad early).  Wasn't going to post, but then I noticed it was not yet included on the Franklin County list, and therefore Bill might waive my 25 cent posting fee.  Also had a blue-winged warbler bee-buzzing away on my bike ride home (olentangy path from downtown to Worthington).  Didn't hear/see the golden winged or bittern.

Banding has been great at the Whittier.  Had two beautiful scarlet tanagers today (they glow like embers- make the NOCAs look dull!).  Also had some good warblers recently, including a pretty male magnolia today.  

Male hummer is vigilantly guarding his feeder in my backyard (a brightspot in all this rain!).

Hope to see everyone on the boardwalk soon!
