The rain held off long enough at Blacklick to get some decent birding in although most of the birds were pretty high in the trees that are steadily leafing out more and more making identification more frustrating. Good birdsong tho. 

Saw a pair of BG Gnats putting the finishing touches on a nest right by the main trail.

Denison Bio Reserve 
In the late afternoon, after another rain storm, I went to the reserve. Was pleased to get great views of a male Kentucky Warbler, watching him sing, perch briefly only to disappear again in the undergrowth, then popping up in a different spot. 

E Towhees & Baltimore Orioles were chasing each other around as were yellow warblers.
