We went to Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus to look at birds. It is one of the top 20 birding sites in Ohio. I saw a warbler I couldn't identify, but I also saw an American redstart. My first time to see one! We also saw lots of robins, blue jays, grackles, Canada geese - you know, the usual suspects. After wandering around the cemetery for a bit, we went to the Green Lawn Ave. dam nearby, reported to be a hot birding spot. Well, not so much when we were there. We saw Canada geese right near the dam, and wondered how they kept from being swept over. Strong legs, I guess. Then, we went to Plank's Bier Garten in German Village (Columbus) for lunch. Afterward, we stopped at Juergen's Bakery and Restaurant for a little pastry nosh. Good day: birds, beer, and Bavarian pastry. :)

Goose near the edge. Good quads.

With names like Schoknecht and Haberkern, we already knew this.

Back home. When is it time to mow? When the cardinal says, "It's a jungle out here."
