Slow…… but this time of year….. I can’t figure out gulls here. Basically, there aren’t any.
Yet! No big reservoirs in Hamilton. But we do have the Great Miami! Maybe the change
In weather coming will push stuff down here.
My last year bird was Nelson’s sparrow. Fernald. Great spot! 222. Three more to my goal!
Will I make it…… LB Dow, Cackling and Ross's Goose are probably the best to hope
For at present. I still need White Pelican, rufous hummer, unusual gulls……
Fun trying! Good birding all.

I visited this area Sept 30 Oct 1 and Oct 3 and 4
The Warbler and Vireo activity decreased while the Seed-eating Songbirds increased
Bluebirds-saw them Flocking up to Migrate while having a Feeding Frenzy in a Honey Locus
I had 11 Warblers on the 30th, 10 on Oct 1st,
9 on Oct 3rd and 5 on Oct 4th
On the 4th I had Songbirds everywhere-Kinglets, Thrushes, Sparrows, and many others I also saw more BHVI that day than I have ever seen in one day
Killdeer Flocking up-A Behavior I have seen where they Group up in the parking lot A few appear to be Dancing They take there turn Dancing then Fly away South
Blackbirds- In the Woods-Hundreds-Favorite food-Poison Ivy Berries
Bald Eagle-As I’m about to leave Delaware St Pk-I look up and see an Adult BAEA circling
It is probably a Great Grandchild of a pair of BAEA I monitored years ago in Delaware Wildlife Area
The BAEA has made a Amazing comeback in the state of Ohio as well as other States They breed in every County in Ohio

The Columbus Audubon trip to these 2 hotspots north of the city found late migration still strong, except for shorebirds. We started at Alum Creek State Park, first at the spillway, then the beach, and finally at the New Galena boat ramp area. Then we drove the 3 miles east to Oxbow Island at Hoover, where a decent fallout held us captive for the rest of the trip. You might want to visit some of these areas over the next week while they're still good. Notables included:
Waterfowl -- spotty as we're a bit early, but Oxbow had a pair of Pintail in eclipse plumage, and Alum still hosted lots of cormorants and a surprising 6 Pied-billed Grebes around the inlets at New Galena Herons -- Great Egrets were at the Alum spillway and Oxbow Island, which also had a Green Heron Raptors -- pretty minimal, with flyover Sharp-shinned at New Galena and Osprey & Red-tail at Oxbow. One highlight, though, were the very adaptable Vultures at the Alum beach area -- we even watched a few dumpster-diving and vandalizing cars! Shorebirds -- nothing but Killdeer Gulls -- good numbers of Ring-bills at both the Alum beach and Oxbow island, but little else other than a few Herring Gulls on the beach with the Ring-bill throng. Woodpeckers -- all the expected ones, including sapsuckers at several spots and a Red-headed out on Oxbow Island Flycatchers -- nothing but E.Phoebes Swallows -- 2 Barn Swallows were flycatching around the dam at Alum Creek State Park Vireos -- 1 eluded our efforts to ID it at New Galena Jays -- lots of jays at every stop, but no massive movement noted yet. With a large mast crop this year, they may not move much at all. Creeper,Wrens -- Brown Creeper was at New Galena, while Winter Wrens were at several locations Kinglets -- both species were at New Galena Thrushes -- Swainson's were at most locations, but strangely we couldn't pull out any Hermit Thrushes or Gray-cheeked. Mimids -- Mockingbirds and Brown Thrasher were at New Galena, while a Catbird was calling near the beach at Alum Lake CedarWaxwings -- a few were around New Galena, a very reliable spot for them Warblers -- we struggled to find a few species at New Galena, but hit a windfall at Oxbow, including Nashville, Tennessee, Magnolia, Redstart, Cape Mays, Blackburnians, Bay-breasted, Blackpolls, Yellow-rumps, Black-thr.Greens, Black-thr.Blues, and N.Waterthrush Cardinalids -- lots of Cardinals, but New Galena also had a Rose-br.Grosbeak Sparrows -- surprisingly scarce, with only Song and White-throated noted Blackbirds -- Redwings were around several spots at Alum, while Grackles were at New Galena Finches -- nothing but the expected House Finches and Goldfinches

Well, we need our electric! But boy was that a massive construction zone. Shorebirds
Have been taking advantage of the wet and flooded fields and ponds there. I only had golden plover, But it is late in the shorebird season. I probably won’t be back there til next spring. I wish
There were more managed shorebird spots down here in SW Ohio! This is a different
Year too with all the rain. The rivers are flooded. And other areas like pond edges.
We are relying on construction zones……
Hopefully I find a shorebird spot down here for my brown county big year next year!
East fork riparian area in Clinton was slow. Or there wasn’t much around! The butterflies
There were great though! My fos checkered skipper.
I haven’t been thinking salamanders for awhile. Maybe I should be! There’s a stream crossing
There that could be productive for that.
Good birding all.
