After consulting with a seasoned birding friend about the ID of the Swainson's Thrush at Mogadore Reservoir, I am sure it was a Gray-Cheeked Thrush.

  Also, the mute swan appears to have abandoned her nest as I have not seen her in two days.

  Did see 3 pairs of Ruddy Ducks out on the reservoir on a 5 minute jaunt up Dike Road with an autistic son and 18 month grandson in the car -- not necessarily an easy bunch to bird with. :)

  Lots to see on Saturday while out with a brand new birder (I only have 3 years in myself). Two lifers for me --

Common loon (I thought they had left -- WRONG; even heard their lonesome call)
American coot (drastically lower numbers)
Great Egret
Great Blue Heron
Baltimore Oriole (abundant)
Orchard Oriole
BLUE-WINGED WARBLER (lifer for me)
Blackburnian warbler
Black and white warbler
Yellow rumped warbler
Yellow warbler
Northern Parula
SWAINSON'S THRUSH (lifer for me)
Wood Thrush
Eastern Kingbird
Eastern Phoebe
Great Crested Flycatcher
Blue Gray Gnatcatcher
Ruby Crowned Kinglet (numbers down from previous week)
House Wren (quite a few)
White throated sparrow (down from last week)
Eastern Towhee (quite a few)

And the usuals, many twitterpated and nesting.

The blue-winged warbler was seen off the Buckeye Trail that goes into the woods off Dike Road in the no vehicle access area.

"Look at the birds..." Matthew 6:26

I look at the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward to our Creator. I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself. I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear. And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
