Monday we go to Oak Openings Preserve to find some sparrows and other grassland birds. A highlight is the Lark Sparrow, the Field Sparrow and the Eastern Towhee. The birds are so difficult to photograph! Here is an Eastern Bluebird.

Our next stop is Irwin Prairie Nature Preserve. The entire walk is on a boardwalk as this is a marshy area. Ohio has gotten so much water this year that the boardwalk is barely high enough. We saw some wonderful birds with the Sora being the highlight. But since I couldn’t get the bird’s photos, here are a few photos. One of the group on a viewing tower and some flowers.

Beautiful! And they have Trillium in Ohio! I thought they were a Pacific NW woodland thing!
