Today's five mile walk yielded some new arrivals, but overall the birding was fairly quiet (most species not singing) and light, with 30 species observed. No Eastern Towhees calling today. *Highlights (in no particular order):* Wild Turkey - 2 Golden-crowned Kinglet - 5 Great Crested Flycatcher - 1 calling Eastern Phoebe - 1 Green-winged Teal - 7 Blue-winged Teal - 17 Great Blue Heron - 1 Red-headed Woodpecker - 3 Wood Duck - 2 (a pair) Eastern Bluebird - 1 Tree Swallow - 6 Rusty Blackbird - 1 Belted Kingfisher - 1 Song Sparrow - two were counter-singing, then one flew across the trail into the other's territory. They squabbled, feathers flew, and the first one flew back across the trail. Singing resumed. One beaver swam by while I was counting ducks. :) Judy Hochadel ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
