I made a quick run through several parks along the Scioto River this morning, starting at Scioto Audubon, then moving north to the Marble Cliff bikepath, and finishing at Griggs Dam. I didn't have time to check out the Shrum Mound Quarry. No big fallout of migrants anywhere, but interesting birds nonetheless. Notables included: cormorants - 20+ above the Greenlawn Dam, while another 25+ were above Griggs Dam Great Egrets - only 2 were above the Greenlawn Dam, despite the lower water levels here Green Herons - 1 was above the Greenlawn dam, while another was at the Marble Cliff ponds Wood Pewees - still fairly numerous, with 2-4 at every site Acadian Flycatcher - 1 was calling in the riparian forest below Griggs Dam Great Crested Flycatcher - at least 1 was along the Marble Cliff bikepath Swallows - hardly any, with only 3 Barns the entire morning Vireos - good day for Warbling, with 12 for the morning; Scioto Audubon led with 7 Gnatcatchers - still 2 at Scioto Audubon Thrushes - still nothing other than small flocks of Robins at many locations Mimids - Catbirds at many locations, while an adult & juvenile Mockingbird were in the fields north of the Grange Center Cedar Waxwings - flocks of 25 were at Scioto Audubon (the boat launch area) and below Griggs Dam. Warblers - slow morning again. Scioto had 2 Blackburnians, a Chesnut-sided, a Magnolia, and a Yellow-throated. Griggs added another Chesnut-sided and a Redstart Sparrows - little of anything; even the Song Sparrows were quiet in the north fields at Scioto Audubon Orioles - 1 Baltimore was at Scioto Audubon, just NW of the Grange Center ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
