I visited these 2 parks at different times of the day: Blacklick Woods in the morning and Blendon Woods in the afternoon. Both had some of the expected late migrants, but niether had any sizeable flocks. The best spot turned out to be the entrance to the Sassafras picnic area at Blacklick Woods. Notable birds for the day included: Barred Owl - 1 was hunting along the Hickory Ridge Trail at Blendon Cooper's hawk - heard them at both parks Flycatchers - only Phoebes at Blacklick Woods Vireos - nothing Thrushes - heard 1-2 Swainson's at both spots Mimids - only 1-2 Catbirds at each spot Warblers - 8 species, most at Blacklick because of the morning start there, included Parula, Nashvilles (2 at Blacklick, 3 at Blendon), Bay-breasted, Yellow-rumped (most numerous), Black-thr.Greens, Black-thr.Blue, ComYellowthroat, Wilson's Sparrows - good numbers at both parks, including flocks of Chippings. Also had Fields, Songs, Towhees, and White-throats Blackbirds - small groups of Redwings flying over both parks Finches - Goldfinches at both spots, but Blacklick also had 1 Pine Siskin ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
