It was a little breath of Canada yesterday, both in weather and in birds, in this part of central Ohio. I found myself in New Albany, and stopped at Swickard Woods in the early morning, and Rocky Fork MetroPark later in the afternoon. Neither has upland woods as big as nearby Blendon Woods, but both have size-able woodlots that had attracted some good birds. Included were: Flycatchers - Swickard had an Olive-sided, while RockyFork had Least and Yellow-bellied; both had WoodPewees Vireos - both had several Red-eyed, and Rocky Fork also had White-eyed Thrushes - not much yet other than Robins and a few Bluebirds Warblers - Swickard had Nashville & Tennessee, while Rocky Fork had several small flocks in the wildless areas along the Beech Trail loop, including 2 Chesnut-sided, 3 Magnolias, 2 Blackburnians, 1 Blackpoll, 4 Bay-breasted, 3 Redstarts, and 1 Ovenbird ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
