Julie West, Gary Neuman and I spent Sunday surveying a couple of areas as part of the Kirtland Birding Club effort to help Black Swamp Bird Observatory complete the Winter Breeding Bird Atlas. My count for the southern of our two blocks - in the general area between Richville and Bolivar - follows. This was the quieter of the two areas, maybe because we hit in the afternoon. We found little open water in either block, except along the Tuscarawas River, and found no waterfowl with the exception of a handful of Canada Geese. Lots of raptors, as others have been noting. Nothing else in this block was too surprising, but we did have a nice variety, including Eastern Bluebirds, Northern Flicker, Cedar Waxwing, and a Golden-Crowned Kinglet.
