The Buchanan County Bird Club went on its annual trip to Magee Marsh in northwestern OH this past week; we had a great time with many species seen, including several Mourning Warblers and a Brewster's Warbler. Although the individual bird numbers were down, the species quality found was great. We logged 137 species as a group with 26 of those being warbler species. Many new life birds were added to individual lists with great enjoyment. While strolling the boardwalk we were alerted to sleeping Common Nighthawks and an Eastern Whip-poor-will. A fresh out of the nest Great Horned Owl was found peacefully perched on a branch, along with a mated pair of Grey Morph Eastern Screech-owls, and a Woodcock was found in the parking lot tending to a clutch of eggs. Trip participants were Fred and Janice Martin, John Kelly and Sherri Hiter, Roger Lemaster and Mike Sanders. Roger and Lynda Mayhorn were definitely missed this year, hopefully a trip for next year is in the works. Can't wait……… A link to some photographs can be found here for those interested http://public.fotki.com/hawk036/magee-marsh-trip/ Red-winged Blackbird Eastern Bluebird Indigo Bunting Northern Cardinal Grey Catbird Yellow-breasted Chat Black-capped Chickadee American Coot Double-crested Cormorant Brown-headed Cowbird Sandhill Crane American Crow Yellow-billed Cuckoo Mourning Dove Wood Duck Dunlin Bald Eagle Great Egret Snowy Egret House Finch Northern Flicker Great Crested Flycatcher Least Flycatcher Willow Flycatcher Common Gallinule Blue-grey Gnatcatcher American Golden-Plover American Goldfinch Canada Goose Common Grackle Pied-billed Grebe Rose-breasted Grosbeak Herring Gull Ring-billed Gull Northern Harrier Red-tailed Hawk Great Blue Heron Green Heron Ruby-throated Hummingbird Blue Jay American Kestrel Killdeer Eastern Kingbird Ruby-crowned Kinglet Mallard Purple Martin Eastern Meadowlark Northern Mockingbird Black-crowned Night-heron Common Nighthawk Red-breasted Nuthatch White-breasted Nuthatch Baltimore Oriole Ovenbird Great Horned Owl Northern Parula Eastern Phoebe American Pipit Black-bellied Plover Semipalmated Plover American Redstart American Robin Least Sandpiper Semipalmated Sandpiper Spotted Sandpiper White-rumped Sandpiper Eastern Screech-owl Northern Shoveler Sora Chipping Sparrow Field Sparrow Fox Sparrow House Sparrow Lincoln's Sparrow Song Sparrow White-crowned Sparrow White-throated Sparrow European Starling Barn Swallow Cliff Swallow Northern Rough-winged Swallow Tree Swallow Trumpeter Swan Chimney Swift Scarlet Tanager Blue-winged Teal Caspian Tern Common Tern Forster's Tern Brown Thrasher Gray-cheeked Thrush Swainson's Thrush Wood Thrush Tufted Titmouse Ruddy Turnstone Veery Blue-headed Vireo Philadelphia Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Warbling Vireo White-eyed Vireo Yellow-throated Vireo Turkey Vulture Bay-breasted Warbler Black&white Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Black-throated Green Warbler Blackburnian Warbler Blackpoll Warbler Brewsters Warbler Canada Warbler Cape May Warbler Cerulean Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Magnolia Warbler Mourning Warbler Nashville Warbler Orange-crowned Warbler Palm Warbler Prothonotary Warbler Tennessee Warbler Wilson's Warbler Yellow Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Northern Waterthrush Cedar Waxwing Eastern Whip-poor-will Eastern Wood-Pewee American Woodcock Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Red-bellied Woodpecker Red-headed Woodpecker Carolina Wren House Wren Marsh Wren Lesser Yellowlegs Common Yellowthroat Mike Sanders Bristol, VA
