Went for a walk around 11AM.  I have never explored this Preserve.  I couldn't believe the wildflowers in bloom as well as a good variety of birds.  Highlights were:
Hermit Thrush-1
Tree Creeper-3
Golden-crowned Kinglets-8
E. Phoebe-2
Pileated Woodpecker-1
Blue Heron-1(in the river)

On our homefront in Chardon,  we had our first pair of purple finches;  also a flock of 7 cowbirds ( mostly males).
