I went to Blacklick in the morning then to Denison bio Reserve late afternoon. Having just returned from a trip to Arizona, I had some FOS birds to catch up on. Blacklick was good but certainly not buzzing with bird activity. Denison in the afternoon was better than average. Usually Denison is usually more active in the morning. This time of year it’s always difficult to decide where to go for morning birding.
