I have a red-eyed vireo living in my woods! I just figured out whose was the new call I have been hearing.
I haven't seen any of it, but some bird porn has clearly been going on around here. I have a father cardinal madly feeding his two fledgelings, and at least one juvenile red-bellied woodpecker who seems to think the only source of food is my feeder. Next it will be fledgeling goldfinches fighting over thistle seed. I love spring! (even if it is almost summer)

It does sound like you'd get to see lots of neat things with an outdoor job like that! What are the most frequent fish (species) caught there in your part of Ohio? |

Right now the White Bass run is tailing off and the Crappie fishing is on fire. I'd say the Saugeye is the most sought after game fish here though. Saugeye are hybrids of Walleye and Sauger which occur naturally but are produced in hatchieries because they reach the size of a walleye but can tolerate the more turbid waters of the inland reservoirs here. There is also good catfishing and in my reservoir there are all kinds of cool things left over from when the original river system was dammed Buffalo suckers, long nosed gar, Redhorses, and the like.

Okay, not actually seen TODAY, but over the last few days I have encountered a snake, a snapping turtle and a young groundhog. Not exactly Wild Planet but fun for me anyway. I also saw a bald eagle, osprey, bluebirds, etc. but I'm not fast enough for those photos!
