This early morning I heard a King rail calling from the parking lot, and later I saw him walking inside the shelter giving me an incredible view for a good 5 minutes. He was just gorgeous! From the observation tower I spotted 2 Virginia rails, 2 Soras, and saw 3 Least bitterns hunting in the pond next to the boardwalk. Also, it was 3 Spotted sandpipers and a Marsh wren singing in the reeds. This year Honda wetlands is an excellent habitat for the marsh birds. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
