A beautiful morning for a walk at Caley Reservation in Lorain County with the grandkids. We spotted one of the reported Long-eared owls, in the same location as last year. On our drive home, we saw the Great Blue Heron rookery in southern Lorain County was full of nesting herons. The rookery is located on the east fork of the Black River midway between Jones and Smith Roads on the east side of SR 301 in Penfield and is easily seen from SR 301. Further south, in a field just south of Spencer Mills on SR 301, on the east side of the road was a hovering Rough-legged Hawk. We pulled off the road so I could take a few shots, then noticed anther hovering Rough- legged Hawk in the opposite field.
