Birders, It is nice to be home once in awhile so I can actually see what comes to my feeders in Middleburg Hts. (SW suburb of Cleveland). Christmas day was one of those days where I could watch happenings. Besides our usual feeder birds I did have: 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches 1 Fox Sparrow 1 Common Redpoll These were nice Christmas "gifts". On Wednesday, (12/26) a trip out to Sandy Ridge Reservation, Lorain Metropark produced some nice sightings. 50 + Canada Geese 80 + Mallard 20 + American Black Duck 5 Ruddy Duck 1 Great Blue Heron 1 Red-tailed Hawk 1 Red-shouldered Hawk 1 Northern Harrier - beautiful male 2 Sandhill Crane 5 Ring-billed Gull 8 Mourning Dove 4 Red-headed Woodpecker 3 Red-bellied Woodpecker 3 Downy Woodpecker 2 Hairy Woodpecker 2 Northern Flicker 7 Blue Jay 4 American Crow 4 Black-capped Chickadee 7 Eastern Tufted Titmouse 3 White-breasted Nuthatch 1 Brown Creeper 1 Carolina Wren 2 Eastern Bluebird 2 American Robin 23 American Tree Sparrow 12 Song Sparrow 3 Swamp Sparrow 4 Northern Cardinal 1 House Finch 9 American Goldfinch Nancy Howell The Cleveland Museum of Natural History 1 Wade Oval Dr., University Circle Cleveland, OH 44106-1767 [log in to unmask] phone 216.231.4600 ext. 3225 education fax 216.231.9960 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
