The change in the weather has brought us a fresh group of migrants. A stop at the South Bass Island Lighthouse yesterday brought the following: yellow-rumped warblers chipping sparrows-a flock of about 30 settled in the trees white-throated sparrows-abundant song sparrows-abundant ruby-crowned kinglets-a flock of about 20 a pair of possible savannah sparrows sharp-shinned hawk in addition to usual American Robins, red-winged blackbirds, and common grackles, there also seemed to be a new influx of brown-headed cowbirds working the field there A stop at the Jane Coates Wildflower Trail yielded: rufous-sided towhee lots of yellow rumped warblers yellow-bellied sapsuckers flyover by northern harrier from direction of quarry lots of ruby-crowned kinglets This morning at the trail saw flocks of white-throated sparrows and what looked like a brown thrasher from the glimpse I got. Wildflowers are blooming like crazy with blue phlox at peak Lisa Brohl ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
