Hello, netland.  My wife and I moved up here to the Cincinnati
area last October and as spring is now on the verge (despite the
snow yesterday... :-)  ) we figure the migration ought to bring
us some goodies.  Anybody know good places to bird in the vicinity?
We have been to a state park just north of town (actually we live
in Oxford), which has an unbelievable species richness of wood-
peckers--seven species thus far, including a fair number of pileated.
Other than that, however, we're pretty well stumped.  In addition,
we moved from Austin Texas--when should we expect the spring 
migration to peak around south-central Ohio?  I would figure late
April, but is that too late?  Any advice appreciated; please post
to the net or mail me directly.  Thanks!
