Who wants to work on a beautiful Friday afternoon? Not me. So I went to find somewhere to hike and explore. California Woods ( http://cincinnatiparks.com/california-woods) looked like a good spot and it didn't disappoint. The majority of the bird activity was above the stream next to the road. Highlights included FOYs in a GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHER & RED-EYED VIREO. There were also several NORTHERN PARULAS singing. Good Birding.
