I was along the lake in Painesville Township this morning doing some surveys. There was a great movement of birds. The best birds were a pair of sandhill cranes flying to the east, a Louisiana waterthrush, and 200+ golden-crowned kinglets. There were good numbers of other birds and a decent hawk flight. Here are some of the highlights of the morning: Turkey vulture 300+ Sharp-shinned hawk 4 Cooper's hawk 1 Red-shouldered hawk 2 (both immatures) red-tailed hawk 16 Rough-legged hawk 1 American kestrel 1 SANDHILL CRANE 2 Yellow-bellied sapsucker 7 Northern flicker 150+ Brown creeper 20+ Golden-crowned kinglet 200+ American pipit 5 Yellow-rumped warbler 6 LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH 1 Eastern towhee 9 Chipping sparrow 50+ Field sparrow 2 Fox sparrow 20+ John Pogacnik 4765 Lockwood Road Perry, OH 44081 (440) 259-2751 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
