I was at Lake Metropark's Lake Erie Bluffs Park this afternoon (2/13).  I
hiked the field area west of Lane Road.  The snow was high but the weather
was nice for a change.  I found a small area I of open water in a ditch
running through the field.  There were several robins at it and when they
flew a Wilson's snipe also came out of the area.  Only other bird of note
out in the field was a northern mockingbird.  What was interesting is have 2
single common mergansers and a red-breasted merganser fly by at less than
tree top height about 100 yards inland.  My guess is they were looking for
open water.



At  the Clark Road parking area there were numerous robins feeding on
crabapples south of Clark Road.  I also found a northern shrike in the same
area.  For directions check: lakemetroparks.com .
