I love birding! One never knows the rarities that will show up! And that includes
Early date wise. Orchard Oriole wasn’t on my radar. Three weeks early! Newtown
Gravel. Of course I was bemoaning my lack of Common loon. I would have traded
The oriole for a loon! But then wait - the oriole is a March bird for me! I like monthly
Listing. All is ok again…..
Lots of activity and singing today! Picked up L. Waterthrush and a March Parula!
I don’t think that’s too early though.
Botany notes - California Woods was popping! Trilliums. I love Trilliums.
Butterfly notes - Tiger Swallowtail! Spring Azures, anglewings, etc. etc.
and a Duskywing that I need to study my pic and decide which one.
Good birding all! Birds are coming!
And leaving - the Eurasian Wigeon was a one day wonder.

Phew.
What a day! I love shorebirds. And Clinton county has been getting shorebirds! I enjoyed
Those flooded fields - sky ponds - last year during my big year.
The Dows were Long-billed from the pics and vocal descriptions I was reading of posts
In ebird. What a great chance for a study! No….. I had 2 or 3 minutes with them. Was just getting
Ready to get my scope on them. Etc. I love to hear them. Next time…… I get the post
From Susan T. - Eurasian Wigeon in Hamilton County! County bird! And big year bird! Off
I go - Winton Woods - Settling Pond. Success! Susan has been hitting here regularly.
Paid off! And what a pleasure to see friends and fellow birders again! Nothing like a
Rarity to gather the flock! I hope it sticks a bit. There are those who couldn’t make it today.
I have been meaning to hit Sharon Woods and check on the restoration there. I heard the
Word marsh a lot. Well, not yet! There is sections of bare ground with grasses trying to
Get a start, is that the beginnings of a marsh? I have not a clue. We will see.
I am still missing that elusive Common Loon for my big year! I keep checking Lake Barber
Area. Nothing yet. Loon wise for me.
Ode notes - yes. But I have no idea what they are! Was not a green darner. That’s all I know….
All my sightings have been brief and in flight.
Good birding all.

Luke’s walk at this super spot. Vesper! Yea! I didn’t even know they occurred there!
A nice surprise. And yes, good habitat, they aren’t rare there. Learning my home
County better! A main goal of the big year. Up to 115 for the big year.
I have a quick turnaround. Commitments this afternoon.

Hamilton county - picked up Golden plover! And pec. At a flooded field area. Good!
Because I am concerned about lack of shorebird habitat down here. We will manage!
Flooded fields in the spring. And lost bridge in the summer and fall I presume.
I got a late start, but still had plenty of time to scan for smiths Longspur in
Butler county. I tried my best! No luck…… I still need that for Ohio! It’s a hard one
To track down. The more birders scanning, the better. I will try again in April.
Hueston woods - Preble. White pelicans and the GWFG still there. Then scanning
Some more field areas on my way home. I am scanned out…… no smiths!
Good birding all. 111 for the big year.

There were still interesting waterbirds to be found in the ponds and backwaters of the Scioto River in Columbus, along with a decent assortment of winter migrants and raptors. I stopped at SCioto Audubon, Long St. Dam, Watermark Lake, Quarry Lake Apartments, McKinley Quarry Lake, Quarry Trails, and Griggs Dam Park. Plenty of bugs were out on the warm day, but few insectivores were around to really take advantage of them. Notables included:
Waterfowl -- Quarry Apartment Lake shined, with a big flock of Ring-necked Ducks and a few Redheads, Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, and Hooded Mergansers. Most of the other spots had little besides Mallards & Geese, though SCioto Audubon had a few scaup and some Pied-billed Grebes.
Cormorants -- Loads of Double-crested all up and down the river, culminating in the colony on the island at Mckeley Quarry Lake, numbering around 300 birds. Mixed in with them was a Neotropical Cormorant, sitting around its nest site on the east shore of the island.
Herons,Egrets -- McKinley Quarry Lake also had 12 Great Egrets and 8 Great Blue Herons, and Scioto Audubon also had 1 Egret and 5 Great Blues.
Shorebirds -- nothing but Killdeer, but they were widespread Gulls -- pairs of Herring Gulls were at McKinley Quarry Lake and Griggs Dam. Single Ring-bills were still around Scioto Audubon and Griggs Dam.
Raptors -- an Osprey pair was soaring over the river at Scioto Audubon, which also had a scruffy molting Bald Eagle and a Merlin on a powerline pole. An adult Eagle was around the Long St. Dam, near their old nest site, and another juvenile was flying N over Griggs Dam. A Red-shouldered Hawk was perched by the wetlands at Scioto Audubon, and Red-tailed were at several spots.
Woodpeckers - lots of Downies and a few Hairies already jousting for territories in the woods along the river at several spots. Flickers were at multiple locations, and an immature sapsucker was along the bikepath at Scioto Audubon.
Phoebes,Swallows -- Phoebes were at several spots along the river, and Scioto Audubon already has Tree Swallows chittering around their wetlands
Creepers,no kinglets -- 2 Brown Creepers were along the bike path at Scioto Audubon, but no kinglets of any sort could be found along the river.
Sparrows -- many Song Sparrows, little else, would summarize this group. A Field Sparrow was singing at Scioto Audubon wetlands, and a few White-throated & Juncos were still around, but their big Spring push hasn't occurred yet.
Blackbirds -- Redwings, Grackles, and Cowbirds were widespread, but no other icterids were found.

For me and the big year! Pine warbler, thrasher, wood duck, and lesser yellowlegs.
Theres a nicely flooded field near lost bridge - shorebirds! I hope it stays flooded as not
Much shorebird habitat down here at present. Pine warblers singing away at Mitchell memorial
Forest. Nice to compare with chippies. Usually not an id issue heard only. But I did have
One of them singing an in between song. I never could track that one down, oh well!
No snipe again. I have given up on vesper until April. I have chased that clear creek
One many times…… and failed. Frustrating.
A beautiful morning! And I had a dragonfly. Only I could not get on it well.
Northern leopard frogs and wood frogs have joined the peeper chorus.
Good birding all.

Wow! It’s amazing what shows up in that region of Ohio! Check ebird for exact location.
Only the bird moved this afternoon. Not sure if still viewable.
Thanks to the landowners for allowing birders on their property! And thanks to the birders
There who got people on the bird! They knew exactly where to look. I believe one was the
Original finder! Great find! An Ohio first!
I was going to hit lake barber down here to see if anything new in when I got home, but the
Weather closed in…… maybe tues.
It looks like I will be the last to get Vesper in Hamilton this year…… oh well! Like I said,
I don’t break records with these big years. I learn habitat, bird timing, etc. and have
Fun!
Good birding all! A pleasure meeting everyone up at the thrasher spot! Reconnected
With a birder I haven’t seen since NJ! Etc.

Slow……. Typical March. And this afternoon will be wind warnings again….. typical March!
Searching for owls is not happening. Walking around woods in high winds is
Dangerous. Perhaps time to catch up on household chores!
I picked up BW Teal, Tree swallow, Phoebe, and Hermit Thrush. 104 for the quest.
Miami Whitewater - Shaker Trace had everything, although other spots had some
Of these also. Lake Barber had a flock of Horned Grebes. So they are moving.

Slow! I still hope for a rare waterfowl sp. But my chances are getting slimmer…..the
Warm up happened too early! IMHO. Armleder reopened after being closed from
Flooding. It’s my favorite spot for Brown Creeper. Sure enough! Success! And
A Greater Yellowlegs at Newtown Gravel. I have reached that 100 number for my

Nature notes - no butterflies today. Warm, but cloudy.

I won’t be breaking records here! I am missing Cackling Goose, Ross's, Lapland
Longspur….. Except for the LT Ducks, no winter waterfowl rarities! But it’s fun.
I am surprised no winter waterfowl rarities.
I hope to explore the Great Miami area here a lot. There’s not the public access like
In Butler and Montgomery counties. But still lots of areas for sky watching. Lost
Bridge, Fernald, etc. The Little Miami will have me exploring for passerines. But there
Is overlap. Armleder, Magrish, etc. Bortz.
I hit the Fernald Woodcock walk with Luke last night. Wow! I was expecting a few peents.
He had a spot picked out where we could see them displaying and on the ground! It
Was fantastic.
Of course I missed the American bittern in flight…… that was before the walk. You never
Know what will be around there! See the second paragraph above!
Nature notes - spring peepers were loud! And frogs and toads were crossing the road.
Be careful driving!
Good birding all.

I figure I will be searching for uncommon to rare waterfowl in March. As I edit trip pics.
Although I did hit Caesar Creek in Warren county for the Iceland gull. I got there plenty
Early! No success. It either left before 7:05 or I failed to pick it up when the main gull
Group left the beach. Sigh….. there’s nice numbers of waterfowl staging in that area.
For example - 440 redheads at the furnas boat ramp! I like numbers. I came home via
Lake Barber in Hamilton county. Nothing new for my big year…… I had plans to bird most
Of Wed, but the weather looks grim…… oh well, I do have a lot of catching up to do around
Here!
I am told I didn’t miss any rarities while away. Let’s see what March brings! I did have an
Early greater yellowlegs at the beach at Caesar creek.
