I stopped at these two reservoirs north of Columbus, working in a side trip to the celebrity Calliope Hummingbird. Thank you Tania for sharing such a great bird with us! I was there from 10:45-11:30, and the bird was very active, perching for only a minute at a time before racing around to dive-bomb other birds or perform spectacular rises-and-dives. It was active enough that I wonder if it isn't getting ready to migrate on, so you might want to pay a visit soon if you haven't done so. Elsewhere, the 2 reservoirs were surprisingly devoid of much waterfowl. I stopped at New Galena, Plumb Rd, and Cheshire at Alum Creek lake, and had Pied-billed Grebes and cormorants at each stop, but little else. O'Shaughnessy had similar birds. Landbirds showed some late migrants, including: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 1 was hanging around Area P (Pylon Point) in the upper reaches of O'Shaughenssy Reservoir BrownCreeper - still scarce, with only one the entire morning (at Plumb Rd access). Kinglets - lots of Golden-crowns, with birds at every stop; New Galena had 7-8 Robins - flocks at many locations; New Galena had 120+ feeding on a good crop of wild grapes Bluebirds - small flocks at several spots, including New Galena, Plumb Rd, and O'Shaughnessy Warblers - nothing but Yellow-rumps, but they were common at most stops Sparrows - nothing unusual, but small Junco flocks were at many locations Blackbirds - I had big grackle flocks in Columbus, but the reservoirs had little except a few small groups of Redwings. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
