i hit gordon park for the first time in a long time this afternoon (school is starting again!) from 4:45 - 5:30 on a walk out the inner harbor breakwall i saw the following - (looking out to open water and toward the shore as well) 2 Great Crested Cormorants 25+ Canada Geese 20+ Northern Rough-winged Swallows 4 Yellow Warblers 10+ Eastern Kingbirds 2 Song Sparrows 30+ European Starlings 30+ Ring-billed Gulls 1 Baltimore Oriole 1 American Robin 1 Northern Mockingbird in the grassy area between the launch and Dike 14 - 5:30-5:45 20+ Northern Rough-winged Swallows 10+ American Robins 20+ Erropean Starlings 5-ish Eastern Kingbirds were tagging along with a group of starlings and as the starlings were flitting and flying around the Kingbirds were following, bug-catching what the starlings were kicking up, quite interesting to observe thinking this will be the first of many after school ventures to Gordon and then also Wildwood/Euclid Beach to be in the mix! buster ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
