It was a slow morning for migrants at the southern end of Alum Lake. No waterfowl or big flocks of blackbirds or tree swallows yet. Flyovers at New Galena were subdued: Blue Jays have dwindled down to about 10-12/hour, and I only had a few small flocks of Robins and Cedar Waxwings, as well as 2-3 E.Bluebirds. A hike around the trails at New Galena found small #s of sparrows (Song, Chipping, White-throated predominating), as well as 1 late Catbird, 1-2 Nashville Warblers, and 4-5 Yellow-rumps. The beach held a reduced flock of 120 Ring-bills and 2-3 Herring Gulls. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
