This afternoon my husband and I went to Chagrin River Park for about an hour and observed an adult bald eagle flying overhead by the river. Also saw 3 cranes (far off, not sure what kind) flying, also 3 Canadian geese flew overhead. Later, down the river, we hit a stretch of open water and saw 7 Mallard ducks, male and female. Also saw 3 male and 2 female cardinals, 2 chickadees, 1 red-bellied sapsucker, 1 downy woodpecker and 1 male and 1 female robin. Also, on Friday January 28, at North Chagrin Reservation in Willoughby, saw 3 pileated woodpeckers that were all very vocal with each other. First time I've seen pileated in several years. Glad they were loud because they were fairly far away from me. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
