Rossford migrants 2-Apr-2003 - I visited the Rossford Island View Park this morning from 8:30 to 10:00 A.M. The temps overnight remained above 50 degrees, so I thought it would have been a good night for passerine migration. There were not as many birds present as I expected, but it's still earlly. If a warm night like last night occurs next week or the week after, then things will be hopping. This morning I observed: Juncos (many singing), White-throated Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, Brown Creepers (several), Golden-crowned Kinglets, Eastern Towhee, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, American Tree Sparrow, two Winter Wrens (one sang). The Sapsucker was spotted exactly where I expected one to be: the part of the trail that follows Grassy Creek, heading towards the Maumee River, at the top of the small hill, surrounded by some medium to large hardwoods. I stood here for a few minutes, thinking one should be around, and sure enough one flew in. Surprised not to find a Hermit Thrush or an Eastern Phoebe.
