A call from Troy Shively informs me that the Toledo CBC team found
birds of interest at Woodlawn Cemetery (this is visible from the freeway
near the Jeep plant) this morning. They had 40-45 redpolls, 3-4
red-breasted nuthatches, and 30-40 siskins. Also present, and perched
prominently on a telephone pole at the corner of Jackman and Wychwood,
is a merlin; locals said they'd been seeing it in the area for several
days.  This spot has many mature conifers, some birches, etc., and is
pleasant to bird. If it's still around, don't get too excited about the
whooper swan that may still be a fixture in the ponds; it's a release,
but good practice for next time you're in Vladivostok...
Cheers,
Bill Whan
