A quick trip to Greenlawn dam found the first-year Mew Gull still occasionally visiting the spillway this evening. It was around when I first arrived at about 4 PM, then disappeared, after which I walked downstream along the Berliner park dike to check lower down the river. When I got back at 4:45, it returned for a few minutes, then disappeared again. So if you don't see it at first, wait around a bit. Other birds along the partially open river below the dam included 6+ Great Blue Herons, 35+ Hooded Mergansers, 3 Common Goldeneye, 1 Common Merganser, and 1 Immature Bald Eagle. The forest had the expected woodpeckers, Robins, and chickadees, but little else. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
