After turning west onto Wilderness Road from Elyria Road and passing by the house on the corner, start looking on the right (north side) side of the road (side without telephone poles). Bird hanging out low in one of two tall black cherry trees in the middle of the field. Sits on dead limb 5 feet above ground on left tree. Spends much time out of sight catching grasshoppers. Park your car as close to the bridge as possible then walk back. Bird is wary, even though it is 100 yards from road [...]46_9Sep201313:09:[log in to unmask]

Monday, Sept. 2 - 8-9:30 a.m.

Visible from the first parking area in the East (Main) Metropark, two bald
eagles (1 adult and 1 immature) put on quite a show this morning--fishing
and  eating.  Also a great many of each:  great blue herons,  great egrets,
wood ducks, green herons, DC cormorants, and belted kingfishers  were
present.  Oops!  Don't want to forget the ring-billed  gulls.

At the north end of the "lake", we had close looks at greater and  lesser
yellowlegs.  Also seen at a further distance were pectoral,  semipalmated,
least, and solitary sandpipers along with many killdeer  (hoping for a
semipalmated plover).  Wishing for rain to keep the  mudflats attractive to the
shorebirds.  Had a flyover of 2 coopers  hawks.  Also, a fellow birder had
pictures of 2 red-shouldered hawks  (1 mature, 1 immature) sitting in the
half-dead tree immediately to the  west.

Happy birding,
Ed and Bev Neubauer, Dean Porter, Eileen Roberts, Rick Asamoto, Mary &
Stan, Kurt Stein, Lee Reed, and several other birders whose names we haven't
memorized yet.
