Four new year birds - kingfisher - finally….. YT Vireo, Prothonotary, and
Summer Tanager. And the YT Vireo was new for Clinton. 180 for life.
151 for the big year. It’s a slow process. I hit Caesar creek the mound rd area.
That’s Clinton. A swamp, floodplain, and woods on a hill. Singing and birds
Moving around were plentiful! I attribute to the cloud cover. Mid June is still an
Active time also. First brood might be fledged. Onto a second brood perhaps! I had
One singing YT warbler besides the Prothonotaries here. Struck out with Kentucky.
Flycatchers still singing. Great crested, Acadian, pewee, Kingbird. The odes were
Slow. Too cool maybe. And cloudy. The kingfisher was at Trace run. I had stopped
Along the bridge area for a quick listen. And ode search.
The beach at Caeser creek - I checked the picnic pavilions again. I didn’t
Pay too much attention last time - black terns and laughing gull were drawing
My attention! There are Cliff and Barn Swallows nesting together under the
Structures. That’s a new one for me! Only they might not get far. The nests
Were torn down……. I had a feeling that was going to happen…….. people
Don’t like bird poop on tables. Both species were busy rebuilding. Looked like
The Barns were further along.
I drove over to Cowan lake. It’s not far! Five Herring Gulls. Four were adults.
Shouldn’t they be up on Lake Erie breeding??
Cicada notes - a bit quieter today! Maybe the noise will be done soon!!
I hit the Gilmore metro park - Butler county on Sat. That place is such fun!
Corms, gb herons, great egrets, and both night herons nesting! I am sure Green
Nests there too.
Sunday I had a tour of a spot in Warren. Lark Sparrow! Good county bird!
Amazing what can be found around!
Good birding all.
