This lil Monarch chonk has now eaten the second Aquatic Milkweed down to its stems, save for one section of it. Hungry and happy. Hoping there’s enough left for it to pupate and do its thing

Put a bunch of seeds in dirt on Sunday even though it’s probably too late but hey!!! You know what???? Uhhhhh who cares! Maybe they will grow!! Better than the seeds just sitting in envelopes forever

Uhhhh well wow. One of the Hibiscus seeds said “FINALLY!!”

Well, the being on the birding subreddit this spring has really made it clear that thousands of birds must be dying each year from well-intentioned-but-clueless people “rescuing” fledglings that they find hopping around their yards

So nice to be here with my yard birds, calling from where I know they call, singing their songs in the dialect that I know by heart 🥰

Looks like eBird’s new server setup is not handling the traffic from Big Day very well

Sunniest and warmest day by far but it was a great one and still way nicer than back down South

Added a Blackpoll Warbler back at Magee Marsh in the afternoon. We gotta be close to 20 warbler species for the trip now which is crazy.

Tried for some birds at the beach but too many people by the time we got there and the kids were chasing the gulls off right as we were starting to scan them. Might try tomorrow morning; Monday should be much quieter

Up to 111 species in Ohio and 129 for the trip!!

Getting into the woods a bit today and we found ALL the mosquitoes

Some good woodland bird species we didn’t have yet though!

Lifer Olive-sided Flycatcher!

We’ve added Hooded and Blue-winged today; up to 24 warbler species. About the last one we could count on would be a Northern Waterthrush. Cerulean would be amazing but much rarer

Spent the afternoon at Oak Openings Park, which is absolutely incredible. Could spend a year exploring this one park.

Headed to what might be our last visit to Magee Marsh. Tomorrow’s weather isn’t looking great

Watching the Woodcock twilight dance for the first time 🥰😭🥹❤️

Magee Marsh this afternoon had the highest number of warblers yet and a couple of primo eye-level photo ops. No new species but some wonderful looks at some we’d only gotten glances of

danielthedaring,
@danielthedaring@mastodon.online avatar

Well the rain has held off and we’re scrambling for a few more birds before it rolls in this afternoon

What might Magee Marsh have in store for us this morning?

danielthedaring,
@danielthedaring@mastodon.online avatar

Picked up a Yellow Billed Cuckoo at Magee, a new bird for the trip and Ohio bird number 132 for me!

Ohio is now my 3rd highest state for species, behind Louisiana (263) and Texas (169)
