We yielded to the call of the leaves today and spent the afternoon hiking around the Ash Cave area. No notables, but once we got above the hubub of the cave we found many of the usual suspects in small numbers: Carolina chickadees (5-7 total at various spots), Downy woodpeckers (3-4), Eastern blubird (2-3),WB nuthatch (3-5) Turkey vulture (several kettles of 3-5) and heard the following: Northern Flicker, RB woodpecker (several) and a possible Pileated woodpecker flyover. Such great weather - just a lovely day!Sharon Hamersley Columbus Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
