Birders, The Lakewood CBC (west side of Cleveland) was wonderfully successful despite the horrendous winds, thank you to all. While all results are not in yet, I did want to mention a count week species that was unexpected. A Marsh Wren was seen on Tuesday, December 30 at the Lake Abrams wetlands, part of the new Cleveland Metroparks Lake-to-Lake trail. About ½ way down the boardwalk crossing Lake Abrams I heard a harsh, ticking sound … wren-like … and was more anticipating a Carolina wren, when amazingly, the Marsh Wren popped up among the dried cattail stalks. The Lake Abrams Lake-to-Lake trailhead is located off of Eastland Rd., about ½ mile north of Bagley in Berea. There is construction on Eastland, careful. The parking lot is on the east side of Eastland Rd. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
