I biked stretches of the Blacklick Creek Greenway, as well as parts of Walnut Woods MetroPark, looking for late migrants or strays. Most of the ponds, even Cruiser Lake & Lake Winchester, remain frozen, so waterfowl were scarce. The bikepath traverse many old farm fields, now growing up into honeysuckle copses and weed-patches. The result was a steady stream of small flocks of Robins, waxwings, and sparrows; in a bit over 2 hours, I had Robins - 300+ Mockingbird - 1 Cedar Waxwings - 40+ Tree Sparrows - 5 Field Sparrows - 2 (at Chatterton Greenbelt, a reliable wintering spot) Swamp Sparrows - 5 Song Sparrows - 50+ Fox Sparrows - 5 (including 4 in the sparrowfields south of Winchester Lake) White-crowned Sparrows - 4 White-throated Sparrows - 75+ Juncos - 10 Redwinged Blackbirds - 70+ flying south early ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
