Hello everyone:
ONE WEEK - UNTIL THE BUZZARDS RETURN TO CLEVELAND METROPARKS HINCKLEY
RESERVATION!
The official return is on Thursday, March 15th when Bob Hinkle
(Cleveland Metroparks Chief of Outdoor Education), or better known as
the "Official Buzzard Spotter" around this time of year, will be at the
Buzzard Roost starting at 7 a.m. to search high in the sky to spot the
first buzzard. Visitors from far and wide, armed with binoculars,
cameras and, most importantly, a sense of humor, flock to the Buzzard
Roost in Hinckley Reservation to await the official spotting of the
season's first buzzard (turkey vulture). But, just remember - "no one
spots a buzzard 'til the 'Official Buzzard Spotter' spots one first."
Then on Sunday, March 18, visitors are invited to celebrate the buzzards
return at the 50th Annual Buzzard Sunday! event at Hinckley
Reservation's Buzzard Roost from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The free event
features naturalist-led hikes, live bird programs, buzzard scoreboard,
displays and exhibits, musical entertainment, historical reenactment
programs, Buzzard Bingo games for kids, bus tours of Hinckley
Reservation, EarthWords Nature Shop with unique buzzard-related
merchandise, complimentary 50th Anniversary cake, refreshments, and
more! Count on hearing legends, tall tales and 50 years of buzzard
spotting stories, too!
The Buzzard Roost is located at the corner of State Road and West Drive
in Hinckley Reservation in Hinckley Township.
For more information on Cleveland Metroparks buzzard-related activities,

In addition to the festivities at the Buzzard Roost on March 18, the

show from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hinckley Elementary School (Route 303,
east of Route 94 in Hinckley Township). Call 330-278-2066 for

Help celebrate the return of the buzzards at the 50th Anniversary of
Buzzard Sunday! at the Buzzard Roost in Cleveland Metroparks - part of
your life, naturally.
Spring is almost here -
Dan
