We visited these 2 Greene County preserves looking for wildflowers and migrants. Both are forested gorges - one along the Little Miami River, the other along Massie Creek - surrounded by farmland. Both had good wildflowers, but there were few migrants and we had to settle for a good list of residents. Included in the haul were Pileated Woodpeckers - singles at both sites E.Phoebes - 2-3 at each site Rough-winged Swallows - 6+ at CliftonGorge, 2 at Indian Mound Blue-headed Vireo - a singing bird at Clifton Gorge was likely a migrant HouseWrens - several singing at each site Gnatcatchers - perhaps the most common migrant at both sites, with numbers over 10 at each Ruby-cr.Kinglets - 6+ at CliftonGorge, another 4 at Indian Mound HermitThrush - 1 at Clifton Gorge ParulaWarblers - at least 2 singing birds at each site Yellow-throatedWarblers - at least 3 singing birds at each site Yellow-rumped Warblers - 7+ at CliftonGorge, 3-4 at Indian Mound LouisianaWaterthrush - 2 birds singing at Clifton Gorge, another at Indian Mound ChippingSparrows - many singing birds at both sites, mostly in upland areas White-throatedSparrows - small flocks at several spots in each preserve ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
