The Mountwood Bird Club from Parkersburg WV, visited the Crown City WMA today. The highlight was finding a family of the target bird, the Blue Grosbeak. We had good looks at the male, female and young, thanks to a tip from an Ohio birding couple we met there. We also had a prolonged look at a male Blue Grosbeak and Indigo Bunting perched in the open about 5 feet apart. Other highlights were a Grasshopper Sparrow at a nest, the Henslow's Sparrows, Dickcissels and lots of Bobwhites singing. Here is our list for the day: Northern Bobwhite Great Blue Heron Green Heron Turkey Vulture Red-tailed Hawk American Kestrel Rock Pigeon Mourning Dove Yellow-billed Cuckoo Chimney Swift Ruby-throated Hummingbird Eastern Phoebe Eastern Kingbird White-eyed Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow Eastern Bluebird American Robin Gray Catbird Northern Mockingbird Brown Thrasher European Starling Cedar 'Waxwing Yellow Warbler Prairie Warbler Common Yellowthroat Yellow-breasted Chat Eastern Towhee Field Sparrow Grasshopper Sparrow Henslow's Sparrow Song Sparrow Northern Cardinal Blue Grosbeak Indigo Bunting Dickcissel Red-winged Blackbird Eastern Meadowlark Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird Orchard Oriole Baltimore Oriole American Goldfinch House Sparrow Dick & Jeanette Esker Wood County West Virginia [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
