Lots of singing residents at these two parks south of downtown this morning. I also went down to the Haul Road area and Scioto Grove MetroPark, but didn't see much different stuff there. Best birds were: -Dickcissels - at least 2 are singing around the small prairie in front of the Grange Audubon center. Great looks at them there, but couldn't find them in similar fields down at Berliner & Scioto Grove. -Orioles - lots of Baltimores in most places along the river, but also had pairs of Orchards at SCioto Audubon, Berliner, and even along the Impound Lot Road. -Flycatchers - nothing terribly unusual, but good #s of Pewees, Acadians, and Willows in appropriate habitats. E.Kingbirds were at Scioto Audubon and Scioto Grove -Warblers - nothing unusual, but more Yellow-throateds along this stretch of the Scioto than in past years. Also had Prothonotaries at their expected spots in Scioto Audubon, Berliner, and Scioto Grove. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
