Actually.... I'll bet they are already in Hinckley... I've been seeing them all winter, especially between I-271 and I-77... They tend to hang out on the large electrical towers. Saw a few today as a matter of fact.

She said the bird landed and began eating something on the ground, giving her a good look at it. There is a huge quarry directly across the street from the Sandusky Mall (google Sandusky Mall, 44870, and switch to "arial view" to see it for yourself). The bird was seen along Columbus Ave. as it runs along the west side of the quarry. Perhaps it is the updrafts from the quarry that attracted him to the area. As a former Hinckley resident, I certainly hope he stays clear of Hinckley for another three and a half weeks! No one wants him, or any of his friends to show up before Buzzard's Day. Speaking of Buzzard's Day (March 15), if you have never attended a Buzzard's Sunday (the first Sunday after Buzzard's Day) you might want to consider it. It has grown from just a pancake and sausage breakfast event to a nice little educational festival. Birding Hinckley Reservation can be quite productive even at that time of the year. I really regret that I was not a birder when I lived just up the road from it. Sheryl Young now of Sandusky **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
