Sixteen avids searched out the remainders of this year’s spring migration. We travelled north only to be confronted with wind, rain, and cold temperatures. Needless to say, the birding wasn’t as pleasant as it could have been on this late May date. Despite all of this, we had a decent day bird-wise, crossing the 100 threshold, barely. There was a noticeable lack of warbler and vireo species. Most have moved on. We were granted a reprieve from the rain when we found that McDonalds was offering Beanie Babies. So, we took advantage of this and scored a few beanies. Without further delay, here are the details. All in all we tallied 107 species and found some pretty good birds for Ohio.
A = Mallard Club Marsh
B = Metzger Marsh
C = Magee Marsh
D = Pipe Creek
E = Sheldon’s Marsh
F = Berlin Heights
G = Fitchville Prairie
H = Killdeer Plains
R = Seen en route to that location
