Took a "quick trip down the Scioto River looking for my trash can. That was the "official" reason ;-) Someone stole it last week...who steals a trash can??? I figured that they might have thrown it in the river...they hadn't...Oh well, might as well bird a little. :-D Lots of birds seen and heard. The list is below. Happy Birding, and God Bless!
