Spent the afternoon in the marshes, got some more good new species including my lifer Common Terns! I think I got a couple great Trumpeter Swan photos as well
Just ate my Lifer Pie at Blackberry Corner, apparently a big birder tradition here 🥰
The morning rain has cleared and we are headed to the Magee Marsh Boardwalk once again to see if the weather encouraged some birds to hang out #BirdingInOhio #birds
I wonder how many millions of dollars in optics are on this boardwalk at one time #BirdingInOhio #birds
Everyone’s just taking pictures of turtles. Not much in the way of visible birds #BirdingInOhio #birds #birding
Large groups of non-birders just congregating to talk because there’s nothing to look at #BirdingInOhio #birds #birding
Birds are slow which is fine. A lot of people is fine when they’re being polite and sharing space, good birder etiquette etc. The combo of slow birds and rude, aggressive people today is not a fun one #BirdingInOhio #birds #birding
Whew. The afternoon pass made up for it big time. FIFTEEN warbler species; picked up Ovenbird and my lifer Canada Warbler 😍
Seems like most of the aggressive folks left at lunchtime #BirdingInOhio #birds #birding
Cambirdsong@danielthedaring Congrats on the lifer!
