I don't often get on the Maple Highlands bike trail in Geauga County in the early afternoon as I did 
today. A few diurnal raptors were present: 3 red-tailed hawks, a stealthy Cooper's, a red-shouldered 
calling at Eastbranch Reservoir from an area where they nest pretty much yearly, and last, but not 
least, a bald eagle down at the water's edge at the reservoir (getting a drink?) It stayed only a short 
while before flying off. There is an algae bloom warning notice posted at the reservoir. Makes me 
wonder if the water is toxic to avian species?
