Cedar Bog Nature Preserve, Springfield OH 980 Woodburn Road, Urbana https://www.cedarbognp.org There is a fee to walk the boardwalk trail. Money well spent! Of all the places Cleon and I birded in around Dayton and Springfield, OH, this was our favorite. There is a Visitor’s Center with a small gift shop. […]
We had good birding weather when we were in and around Dayton. Partly sunny to sunny days in the high 70’s with low humidity. That has changed. The temperatures and humidity are both climbing. Skies are cloudy and sometimes stormy.

Eastwood Lake. Located in Eastwood MetroPark, Dayton, OH. https://www.metroparks.org/places-to-go/eastwood/. Like Englewood Park, Eastwood Lake is part of the MetroPark system of Dayton. You can download the brochure which states there are resident Bald Eagles. Several people we encountered at the other areas we birded recommended we come here to see the eagles. Unfortunately, […]
Englewood Metro Park. Dayton, OH https://www.metroparks.org/places-to-go/englewood/ There are 4 separate areas that make up Englewood Metro Park. We only had time to visit one of areas: the East Park. And we hit a bonanza of birds – the mother lode. You can get the addresses for each of the entrances from the above website. […]
If you have been watching the bird bath cam livestream, you will have noticed that I moved the oriole feeder lower and closer to the bird bath. When I moved it, I was uncertain if the new location would work as it is now quite close to the bird bath which many birds besides the […]
For the past two years, we have had an American Robin right at this time of year (late March-early April) eating seed at the feeders. Last year, the robin was on the ground underneath the feeders. This year it has been up on the platform feeder most days for the last three weeks. And I […]
Odd behavior for a robin! Again! Last year we had a robin at this same time of year – coming to the feeders. Both to the platform feeder and on the ground underneath. And Cleon and I swore the bird was eating seed. Robins don’t eat seed – they eat worms, insects, and fruit. We […]
If you look at the website menu, you will now see ‘e-books’ has been added. Click on it and you will get a new screen with all the information. I have written these two e-books – one is a free download which I hope all of you will try. In this e-book, I use the […]
Beautiful day with only a slight breeze. Sunny. 45 – brisk! To begin, just where is The Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and what is it like? The Alligator River NWR is on the easternmost point of the mainland of North Carolina. The Alligator River is the western border of this refuge. What is this […]
This morning, Cleon and I changed the bird feeders and what we are offering. We are now set up for winter. We did this today because even though we are still having warm temperatures during the day – in the mid-60’s to 70’s – we are starting to experience cooler nights. Our forecast: most of […]
