Greetings, Watched the neighbors dog walk across the pond into the creek where it startled a Great Blue Heron. Didn't know they were still here. Also have had an abundance of Blue Jays and Cardinals. Started off the New Year with woodpeckers. Flicker, Pileated, Red Bellied and Downy Woodpeckers are regular visitors. A flock of Horned Larks have returned to the fields on Becker Road and Baird here in Wakeman, Lorain County. Lower deck is filled with Juncos and White Crowned Sparrows.. Saw a Fox Sparrow two days ago. Happy Birding.
