My ride on the Valley Parkway  from Rockhill Rd. to the Nature Center
was punctuated with frequent stops to view and listen to
calling migrants. Black-throated Green Warblers were seemingly
everywhere. Highlights are below:

Yellow-throated Vireo
Warbling Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Cliff Swallow
Blue-winged Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
American Redstart
Bay-breasted Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Scarlet Tanager
Orchard Oriole
Baltimore Oriole
These were all FOS birds. The most productive area was the marshy area
between Lorain Rd. and Puritas.
Many warblers were seen there.

The back yard in N. Olmsted produced some great birds as well, including
a nice looking Hooded Warbler,
a FOS male RT Hummer, and 4 Purple Finches.

See you on the trails,
