With afternoon obligations, I made a quick morning trip to sites along the Scioto River in Dublin, starting at Kiwanis Park and working up to O'Shaughnessy dam and reservoir, including Twin Lakes and the Home Rd bridge. Quite a few expected residents were around, along with a few surprises. Notables included: Cormorants - a few at virtually every stop, plus many flyovers heading both north and south Great Egrets - several commuters, with birds at Kiwanis, the Dam, and Twin Lakes, plus fly-overs Herring Gulls - an adult pair was above the Dam, but no obvious sign of nesting Vultures - a few TVs were everywhere, but a single Black Vulture was at the dam Red-shouldered Hawks - adult & immature at Wellington Woods and Coventry Woods Cuckoos - calling Yellow-bills were at Coventry Woods, Donegal Cliffs, and the Dam Red-headed Woodpecker - one bird calling at Kiwanis was unusual for this location Cliff Swallows - strong colonies at several spots along the river course, including Emerald Parkway bridge, the Dam, and Home Rd bridge. Warblers - little other than Yellow-throated, which were singing at many locations along the river Orioles - a few Baltimores along the river, but nesting here seems largely finished ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
