On Dec. 24th. on Spencer Mills Rd. in SW Medina county, a Northern mockingbird was seen on phone wires along the road. It then flew to a conifer close by to dine on blue berries. Just over the Medina county line into SE Lorain county on 12/24 there were several Horned larks in a field of corn stubble at the intersection of Stewart and West Rds. Far off in the distance in farm fields flocks of other small birds were spotted - too far away to ID - will return to check this out .
