Central Ohio NatureIn Full Swing
Walking in Griggs Park near our home in recent days has been a real treat. We are always debating what is our favorite season but right now we’re thinking it’s spring! The movement of migrating warblers and other birds through central Ohio seems to be in full swing but increasing in leaf cover in the last week is starting to make spotting them at little more difficult.

Much of this year birding has been done on foot. Now with the leaves coming out in force, and our field of view decreasing, it may be time to get the canoe out for a better view as we paddle the shoreline of reservoirs near home.

Thanks for stopping by.
You got some great shots! The black and white warbler is a pretty bird.
I still haven’t seen a butterfly here yet.
An excellent variety of the birds and other subjects that show the beauty of spring!
Thanks.
I love your pics.

Thanks Ba, yesterday we discovered a new flowering plant native to Ohio that we were previously unaware of. It will be featured in an upcoming blog.
Beautiful images of your local flora and fauna. Such amazing diversity of the natural world! Thank you for sharing your love of nature.
Thanks Bruce!
