Hi Everyone, We went on the guided hike along Doan Brook, run by the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, this afternoon. It was a very nice walk, though we only added a few birds to this Springšs list for the area: Killdeer Spotted Sandpiper Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Black-Throated Green Warbler We then dropped by Lakeview Cemetery, to see if the Common Loon was still there; it was, in the pond behind Wade Chapel. Made us wonder whether there is a long enough dimension of that pond for the birds to get airborne again. We were remembering the loon that landed in the Marsh at North Chagrin a few years ago and had to be taken out to a larger body of water.... We also had an Eastern Phoebe and an Eastern Kingbird in the other pond nearby.
