Went back to my home town for the the 4th of July (Stow, OH).

Being from Columbus, I'm spoiled when it comes to "my" park system (thank 
you, Columbus Metro Parks).

Had an opportunity to visit "the newer," Summit County Metro Parks - 
Tallmadge Meadows Area on the weekend of the 4th while I was back home.

Thanks should be given to Summit County Metro Parks for buying up the 
extra Renner Land and creating a permanent, natural, Prairie and Woodland 
Break habitat.  Hiking trails in between.

Although I only had an hour, I counted 15+ species.  My favorite was the 
Orchard Oriel.  Indigo Buntings where everywhere.

Birders from the Tallmadge/Stow/Munroe Falls/Akron area...if you want to 
see some birds...check this place out.
