 Of
Birds...
The Blackpoll warbler (Dendroica striata) passes
through Ohio in May on its trip northward after spending the winter in
South America. Other wood warblers log long migrations as well, but
the blackpoll is the endurance migratory champ among these tiny birds.
Weighing in at ½ oz. and only 5 inches long from bill to tail, this
bird clocks in a round trip of a little over 12,000 miles!
Approximately 85 hours of that trip is non-stop over the Atlantic!.
...and Bunnies!
Eastern cottontail females (Sylvilagus) spend only about five
minutes per day nursing young. Rabbit moms feed the babies very early
in the morning and in the evening, and they will not approach the nest
if a predator (you) is nearby. Please don’t move them. They are not
orphaned!

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Delaware County is the
fastest growing county in Ohio. Some of the changes in land use will cause
surface water impacts because of their proximity to streams or wetlands. Impacts
such as these will require permits from the Ohio EPA. Before some changes are
able to occur, a plan for mitigating these impacts must be approved.
Preservation Parks provides an opportunity for permitted activities to be
mitigated within Delaware County. We have sites available and identified for
stream and wetland mitigation. Projects include restoration, enhancement and
preservation. Please contact us with the specifics of your project to discuss
our available mitigation opportunities.
