October Summary
November 1st
October turned out to be a very good month for
us. We saw eight new species during the
month and were able to accomplish our goal of seeing over 300 species in Ohio
this year. Four of the species including
Red Phalarope, Nelson’s Sparrow, Townsend’s Solitaire and Scissor-tailed
Flycatcher were all Ohio life birds for us.
We
traveled to the Columbus area, Dayton and Defiance to find some of these very
special birds. We were fortunate that
the Red Phalarope, Townsend’s Solitaire and Franklin’s Gull were all found
close to home.
Our total species for the year is 301. We are still hoping to see some new birds in
the remaining two months of our Big Year.
Species seen this month:
Red Phalarope (rare)
Nelson’s Sparrow (scarce)
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (very
rare)
Red-necked Grebe (rare)
Black Scoter (scarce)
Harris’s Sparrow (very rare)
Franklin’s Gull (scarce)
