Sitting here at Mohican State Park Lodge getting ready for bed. We arrived here around 6, it was much further than my mapquest led us to believe. We ate in the lounge and then went next door to listen to a birders band that calls themselves the Rain Crows. They write their own music and lyrics and are quite good. They are also very well known birders. At 9, I went with a group out to an area where they were mist netting Saw Whet Owls, the smallest owl in Ohio. They had captured and banded one owl and we got a close look. They are amazingly small, about the size of a robin. Tomorrow we will listen to several speakers in the morning and then hit the trails in the afternoon. Looking forward to meeting new people and finding new birds. Later tomorrow, got to hit the sack!!
