We are visiting Lorain County this weekend, and took the grandkids out for little birding. Carlisle Reservation: At least 12 common redpolls were visiting the thistle feeders at the visitor center. Caley Reservation: Spotted 3 Long-eared owls near the top of a pine tree on the left (north-east) side of the parking lot. The pine trees grow along a ridge that runs parallel to the parking lot, and the tree where I saw the owls grows on the side of the ridge opposite the parking lot. They were spotted shortly before noon today.
