Ohio 18th May 2014

So we had one last chance to pop into Magee Marsh in the morning. The number of birders was well down as the Biggest Week was now over. There was still an excellent selection of migrants around the place however including an extremely late Fox Sparrow that I picked up in amongst the undergrowth. A few local birders were very dubious about the sighting until they managed to see it for themselves. This was to be my last lifer of the trip. I got around 57 lifers for my troubles (first summer visit to the States). I've included a rough trip list below (can't find my official trip list at the moment). I'll add another post on the few mammals and other bits we saw during the trip also.
