I didn’t get an early start. I don’t usually on Sunday. It was already
Bad heat wise when I got to Warren county. Around 11:00 or so. I went
Searching for Dickcissels. No success! I hit the ebird spots - most of
Them. One was private, another looked like the habitat completely
Changed, etc. another spot was on a road with traffic. Sigh….. etc. etc.
The field along pence jones rd. At spring valley looks good! Nuttin.
I finally got Blue grosbeak at the Caeser creek tower area. That seemed
Like good habitat, so I tried. And they didn’t call until I started walking out….
Afternoons are going to be tough in this heat!! At least they called!
I am up to 197 life for Warren and 148 for the big year. The grosbeak was
The only new bird today.
My next time up there will have to be early. There’s a grassy field - large -
In a farm area near Caesar creek. Kestrels and meadowlarks. It looks really
Good for grasshopper sparrow! I didn’t see or hear any this afternoon.
I put Merlin on it! Ditto…..
And they didn’t call Ceaser creek spillway - floodplain. I want to explore that.
If that type of area has them at East Fork in Clermont…. Why not Warren!
Ode notes - the usual. I hit a few spots for Dragonhunter. No success!
Good birding all.
