This afternoon about 3pm I was walking in the woods beside the Shawnee Prairie Nature Center. There were about 25 or so Rusty Blackbirds feeding in and near a vernal pool. I heard the squeaky gate sound twice and then the rest were doing a gurgling sound with their throats. Woods Road Wetland (between Ansonia and Rossburg) has several Pintail ducks and tree swallows were seen twice last week. On Sunday, there were also White Fronted Geese. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
