A very tired and life bird GREETINGS! I had a great day yesterday on the boardwalk at Magee Marsh. Followed up by watching and photographing the pile of Willets at Metzger Marsh. Best part of the day is that I was FINALLY able to get my final typical Ohio bird...an Orange-crowned Warbler. (There are a few others, but those are the one day wonders that we all suffer from. List highlights: 13 warbler species (I missed a Cape May that someone saw.) 14 Pelican flyover 60 Willet After I left Metzger, I had 78 species. By the time I drove through Oak Harbor I had 80. If i had been able to get everything mentioned seen on or around the boardwalk, I would have had about 85...its getting downright birdy out there. :-D Lists bellow.
