Jay Abercrombie and I did the trail around Spencer Lake in Medina County yesterday, Friday April 24, 2009. We saw a few birds listed below, but the wildflowers are spectacular- stop and admire if you are in the area. You might want to wear blaze orange- it is turkey season. Tree swallows Rough-winged swallows Purple martin Turkey vultures Great blue heron Wood ducks Mallards Canada geese Spotted sandpiper Red-bellied woodpecker Yellow-bellied sapsucker- pecking holes and sipping sap Yellow warblers American goldfinch Rufous-sided towhee Song sparrows Eastern bluebird Brown-headed cowbirds Blue jay Red-winged black birds Common grackles Tufted titmouse Black-capped chickadees American robins Phoebe Kathleen Bradley- Broadview Heights, Ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
