This morning on my way to Kroger, I noticed a merlin perched on the
electric wires running alongside Lazelle Road just east of Sancus Blvd. in
northern Columbus. I wish I had my camera with me at the time. Of course
it was gone by the time I was going home. When I got home I grabbed my
camera and my binoculars and went out looking for it.
I walked along Lazelle Road and then into Lazelle Woods Park looking for
that bird. I never found it but I did see some interesting birds in the
park.
white breasted nuthatches
Carolina chickadees
tufted titmice
northern cardinals
blue jays
dark eyed juncos
house sparrows
red-bellied woodpeckers
hairy woodpeckers
1 downy woodpecker
1 pair of Carolina wrens
1 red-tailed hawk soaring overhead
1 northern mockingbird
Most of the birds I saw were in the back of the park at the edge of the
woods. There is a townhouse condiminium abutting the west side of the
park which has a birdfeeder. That is were I saw the sparrows, tufted
titmice, and some of the Carolina chickadees. The fencerow between the
park and the nursery is a good place to look for birds. That is where I
saw the mockingbird.
