With a less rainy day in the forecast, Diana & I headed back to Clear Creek to see some of the area I missed on Saturday, especially the Fern & Hemlock Trails. We also stopped at the meadows at Starner & Written Rock for good measre, but didn't find much different from Saturday. Totals for 2 hours on the Fern-Hemlock Loop included: Red-shouldered Hawk - at least 1 calling Ruby-throated Hummingbirds - at least 2 Flycatchers - mostly Pewees (6) & Acadian (11+), but also had a Phoebe and Great Crested. Willow still at Written Rock. Vireos - LOTS of Red-eyed (24+), along with Yellow-throated (2) and White-eyed (1) Thrushes - Wood Thrushes along road and in ravines, totaling perhaps 8; Veeries along creek (3), and 1 Hermit singing at the upper end of Hemlock ravine Warblers - 14 species, mostly Ovenbirds (12+) and Hooded (18+). Redstarts (7) and Black&Whites (6) were mostly along the creek, as were Parulas(2) and Yellow-throated (2). Ceruleans (3) were on slopes above creek, while Worm-eating (4) were mostly towards upper end of side valleys. Black-thr.Greens (6) were clustered around hemlocks. A single Prairie was singing in the meadow where Fern Trail meets the Cemeter Ridge Trail. Yellows & Common Yellowthroats were common down in creekside meadows. Tanagers - still no Summers, but Scarlets (6-8) were much more common along loop. Grosbeaks,Buntings - single Rose-br.Grosbeak was singing along creek, while Indigos were widespread around meadows. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
