There were two broad-winged hawks at the corner of Pekin & Ravenna Rds. in Newbury Twp, Geauga
County. Don't know if they were a pair (drive-by birding), but they were flying in close proximity and
one vocalized. My husband almost texted me to alert me to the anticipated arrival of a rose-breasted
grosbeak at our feeders in Claridon Twp. I'm sure it won't be long until I see him myself.
Aside from avian species, came across a pickerel frog while on a hike through the woods. A small
garter snake was basking in a sunny spot and two northern water snakes dove into the water as we
passed by. Turtles were on the move across the roads, too. Saw a medium sized snapper and painted
turtle make it safely across and lent a helping hand to a tiny painted turtle about as big as a quarter.
That little guy had many steps to take before reaching the other side so assistance was in order.
