I had a productive morning birding this new Columbus-area metropark today.
From 8:00 - 10:30 I hiked about 2.5 miles of trails. Highlights include:
15 Warbler species:
- Blackburnian
- Magnolia
- Black-and White
- Black-throated Blue
- Chestnut-sided
- Nashville
- American Redstart
- Common Yellowthroat
- Bay-breasted
- Hooded (2 different individuals)
- Black-throated Green
- MOURNING (I almost got a great close-up photo when it very briefly
popped up to my spishing. Oh well.)
- Tennessee
- Palm
I also had a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, which I did get photos of (though they
are little better than of diagnostic use). Swainson's thrushes are still
fairly common, and I had a Veery at one point. Lincoln's Sparrow were
numerous.
A trickle of temperate migrants have started mixing in, with several each
of
- Winter Wren
- Dark-eyed Junco
- Swamp Sparrow
- White-throated Sparrow
I also watched a Cooper's Hawk chase a Sharp-shinned Hawk that had just
chased some Blue Jays.
Good birding,
John
