Howdy all - This morning, I stopped at a loaction I discovered while atlasing last summer. It is a wetland property owned by Lorain County Metroparks, and is similar to the Sandy Ridge/Columbia Resv. projects, though not nearly as extensive. It is located off Crook RD mear Grafton. Seven shorebird species were an unexpected plus, including tight-knit flocks of Dunlin and Semipalmated Plovers, containing seven birds each. The habitat is not extensive but obviously ample for migrant shirebirds. Other birds of interest in the area included - Great Egret, Sora, Bank Swallow (5), Great Horned Owl, Orchard Oriole, Black-throated Blue and Canada Warblers. Good birding - Gabe Leidy Hinckley ____________________________________________________________________________________Be a better Heartthrob. Get better relationship answers from someone who knows.
