Greetings birders- Sorry for the late post-no internet at home. Friday and Saturday I observed a Northern Shrike at the Bath Nature Preserve near Richfield. You can google map the preserve--the address is 4160 Ira Rd, Bath OH. The Shrike was working the area west of the North Fork Trail--near marker #3 and around pond #4. There are great maps at the trail head showing these locations. The Shrike spent alot of time in the tree in front of the oil well marked D on the map. I saw it eating something in the lower bushes at the base of the tree. On Sat. there were many walkers with dogs, but the bird didn't shy away. Also seen- Bluebirds Am Kestrel--hunting the same area as the Shrike Am Robins BC Chickadee Turkey Vulture Red-tailed Hawks WB Nuthatch N Flicker Checked the old Coliseum site for Short-eared owls--didn't see any either night. Bird on- Sandy Brown Akron Oh ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
