Mike Sponsler<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620332719442">I've been birding all spring at Blendon Woods with almost no migrant results. I Arrived at the Blendon Woods Nature Center at 6:45Am greeted by the roar of the loudest riding mower on earth. The park's scorched earth landscaping was in full swing. I saw ZERO migrants, but I admit I had an attitude and I&nbsp; spent only an hour, because the roar of the mower was so annoying. I also noted only 2 cars in the lot. Hmmm. Is Blendon Woods losing it's birding mojo?</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620333067415"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620333068046">Woodside Green Park in Gahanna.&nbsp;</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620333271088">This park borders a stream and has a better birding ambiance. There was&nbsp; much more activity. I heard many birds but since my song ID ing is so poor, I was not able to identify most of the singers.
