Hi all - 
    Sorry for the late post, but nothing too exciting or pressing to
disclose anyways.  My wife Angie and I visited Secor Metropark this past
Sunday and were rewarded with a few seasonal firsts (at least for us).
Here's a brief list of what we saw near the visitors' center and its
'window on wildlife'.
 
Carolina Wren - 1 (singing vociferously)
Cedar Waxwing - 8
Rusty Blackbird - 1 (our first of the year, calling incessantly near the
parking area)
Common Grackle - 1 (another FOY, its iridescence is always welcome in
February)
Brown-headed Cowbird - 4 (FOY, small flock of three females and a male)
 
Looking forward to the arrival of AMWOs - our staff at the Edge of
Appalachia Preserve in SE OH has been enjoying their sky-dancing over
the last few days....
 
Good birding,
 
James Cole
Lucas Co.
