I hiked into the marshy area south of Bellbrook Road starting from the parking
lot near the junction of Bellbrook and County Hwy. D
I was hoping for some fall sparrows but it was fairly quiet back there. Not
even a Palm Warbler.
The good news is that the grassy path has been mowed so walking is easy. Also,
it is fairly dry and rubber boots are not needed. You can get to the edge of
the water without getting your feet wet. Deer have made some good paths making
it easier to walk the grasses off the trail. For sparrows I only had a couple
Swamp and Song. I did find 3 Marsh Wrens and a Sedge Wren.
I flushed a rail of some sort twice, but couldnât get a good look at it. It
was small and flew with dangling legs; maybe a Sora but it dropped down into
the reeds very quickly.
I had 3 Woodcocks sitting on the grassy path on the way in.
Hereâs my checklist:
