I walk a 2-mile stretch from the Powder Factory north towards Morrow. It has deep woodland and seems to attract the most birds. The four creeks seem to attract all the thrushes as well. One section drops off, so you look into the canopy a bit and is great for spotting Scarlet Tanagers.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-73760200528471104272009-05-27T17:25:06.673-04:002009-05-27T17:25:06.673-04:00Golly.

Anyway, you are getting lots of nice bird shots on it. Our old bike trail from Trotwood to Verona is 13 miles but almost all farming fields on both sides. I have never seen a bird other than sparrows, buzzards circling or something like that.<br /><br />I just learned from three different people today that my Northern Parula Warbler is, in fact, a Bay Breasted Warbler. So I had to change the title and thank the folks for their help. The home territory is way up north so I don't have a clue how I got it way down here. They seemed to think I was lucky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-29131736392241787602009-05-27T16:58:53.596-04:002009-05-27T16:58:53.596-04:00Great shots Kelly!

A friend told me where he'd found the nest, and when I was looking I heard the call (I'd looked it up in my field guide and knew approximately what it would sound like) and spotted one sitting in a branch in the next tree, I took some shots, but nothing came out. Oh well, at least now I know where he lives!Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-88965330665202116912009-05-27T09:09:56.369-04:002009-05-27T09:09:56.369-04:00...thanks, Jayne!

The hillsides flanking the river are protected scenic land, so the mature woodland is saved from development (thank goodness). <br /><br />Keith...thank you...I hope you see many more because that will mean I've found more! :-D<br /><br />Warren...I just looked up the story and found it was a Willow or Alder Flycatcher they were looking for--both birds look just like the Acadian (only song and habitat are obvious in differences). Here is a clip from the article for others interested in what's happening in Cornwall: <br />The mass pilgrimage to Land's End in Cornwall was sparked after a reported sighting of one of two species of the distinctive bird. Birdwatchers believe it was either an alder flycatcher or a willow flycatcher which have never been recorded in Britain before.
