At Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area (Lucas Co., NW Ohio) I found a Selasphorus hummingbird this evening -- i.e., a Rufous or Allen's Hummingbird, a female-plumaged individual not identifiable to species. The bird was at the edge of the woodlot at the end of the road. Specifically, along the west-northwest edge of the woodlot, seen from the road near the last pulloff and boat launch area. See this map for clarification: http://www.bsbo.org/birding/pdf/Metzger_Marsh_Wildlife_Area.pdf Between the woods and the edge of the road, there is a very extensive patch of Spotted Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), a low, shrubby wildflower with small orange blossoms. At least three Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were in the same area, and the Selasphorus was interacting with them part of the time. Even though it couldn't be identified to species, it was still interesting to see one of these birds "in the wild," away from feeders. Other migrants in the same general area included Cape May, Blackburnian, Blackpoll, and Bay-breasted warblers, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Veery, and Swainson's Thrush. Metzger doesn't have any decent shorebird habitat at the moment (aside from the tiny strip of beach beyond the woodlot, with 2 Sanderlings today) but the marsh still has Common Gallinules, Wood Ducks, Blue-winged Teal, and others.
