Willow Flycatcher

This photo was taken in the Woodbury Wildlife Area 4 miles west of Coshocton, Ohio while on a Birding tour provided by Time & Optics a Binocular and other Optics supplier in Holmes County, Ohio. this day I added 4 lifers to my Life list of birds I have seen. The day before on a birding trip to the Mohican area near Loudonville, Ohio, I added 7 birds to my life list! Birding was great but photography was not so great!

Meadowlark

This is a beautiful bird that loves to sing in the open fields. It’s the best photo I could from the distance I was away! This was in the Woodbury Wildlife Area 4 miles west of Coshocton, Ohio.

This was at the Mohican Gorge Overlook. It was a birding trip organized by “Time & Optics” a local shop that sells Clocks, binoculars, and spotting scopes, etc. It was a part of their yearly “Annual Optics Fling!”
