Today the Darke County Birders traveled to Columbus for a morning of birding. We also tried for the gulls at Mt. Trashmore. The only birds that we saw a lot of in the fields were pigeons and crows. There were a few gulls flying around, but I'll bet late afternoon would be a better time to see them. We were there about 10 a.m. At Greenlawn, we saw Merlin at area 70 perched in a large sycamore with the center top broken off red bellied woodpecker downies 2 Mockingbirds 2 w.b. nuthatches 2 Cardinals 7 juncos 3 pine siskin 1 at the feeders house finches 4 goldfinches3 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
