We stopped at the fishing area east of the power plant and used the spotting
scope to see one bird fly away and the other walk into the next box. Very
cool!  We only had a few minutes to spare and after 10 minutes left without
seeing the flying bird return.



I will definitely be stopping hear over the next few weeks to see if I can
get some digiscope pictures.



For those not familiar with this location it is about 15 miles east of
Cleveland.  Take I-90/Rt 2 from Cleveland and where they split (Euclid)
follow Rt 2 East  and exit at Rt. 91.  Go north (left) until it ends at Rt
283 (Lakeshore Blvd).  Turn right and follow, going under RR bridge to
traffic light.  Turn left and follow this road (go uphill when road splits)
until it ends at Lake Erie.  Walk through the parking lot/fishing area and
look at the largest diameter smoke stack (the one on the right).  About half
way up, just below a flashing light is an artificial nesting box.  You can
watch with 8 power binoculars but a spotting scope at 20X makes for better
views.
