After not being successful in seeing the Roseate Spoonbill in Holmes County, I was fortunate to get photos of the one in Wayne County. I had some taxi customers that were hoping to see the bird. And we were very successful. A birder friend wanted to know the whereabouts of barn owls in Holmes County, so I did some research and actually found a male that posed nicely for me. I also had some nice conversation in the landowners living room!
I set out for Force Rd. at the Killbuck Creek Wildlife Area in Wayne County, Ohio, to see if I could locate the King Rail, which had eluded me during at least 3 other visits! This time I was rewarded with a sighting of the birds, as well as the bonus of the other animals! Disclaimer: Some experts verified that these birds were the Common Gallinule bird! So it goes! Maybe next time!

RED-VENTED BULBUL, Pycnonotus Cafer (Linnaeus). I photographed this bird at the Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary, Kolkata’s Little Secret. You can see it’s website at: http://www.kolkatabirds.com/ckbs.htm I identified it with several books including From “The Book of Indian Birds Salim Ali and “A Photographic Guide to Birds of Bangladesh” by Ronald R. Halder. One of my friends is a friend of Ron, and has at least one photo in Harder’s book. The book by Halder I have is actually an autographed copy I borrowed from a friend.
