Hello all, My name is Matt Vosniak and I am a relatively new birder/photographer (about 1 1/2 years) but it is a hobby I really have come to love. Today I made a trip out to Cayley Woods in southern Lorain County and had a very eventful observing and picture taking day. I am not very skilled at counting birds seen so I will just list what what I saw. Mallards Canada Geese Flickers Bluejays Robins Cardinals Red-Tailed Hawks American Widgeon Sharp Shinned Hawk (I think!! Only saw it for a second in flight) Than the good stuff I chased a male pheasant around trying to get a photo but he stayed in the thick bushes to much to get a good photo. I got some nice looks though. I didn't search hard but I did stumble across one long-eared owl as I was leaving and I got many photos. If anyone would like to see please email and I'll send one. Sorry no place to post them on line. Lastly I saw a Northern Shirke from a little ways away through the binoculars but it was gone before I could sneak close enough for a photo. Definitely a Shrike though. Thanks, Matt Vosniak ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
