Birders,



It is nice to be home once in awhile so I can actually see what comes to my
feeders in Middleburg Hts. (SW suburb of Cleveland).  Christmas day was one
of those days where I could watch happenings. Besides our usual feeder birds
I did have:



2 Red-breasted Nuthatches

1 Fox Sparrow

1 Common Redpoll



These were nice Christmas "gifts".



On Wednesday, (12/26) a trip out to Sandy Ridge Reservation, Lorain
Metropark produced some nice sightings.
