I was walking the paved bike path south of Gorge Overlook in Bedford Reservation this morning. I saw a flock of birds about 10 to 20 feet off the ground in some trees right next to the bike path. I was amazed when I looked through my binoculars and saw that they were all fox sparrows. There were at least 8. There could have been more. I took a picture. But, I have yet to look at it on my computer. Farther along the path I heard a lot of blue jays. I counted at least 25 in the treetops. They were mobbing a barred owl. There was a cardinal and some titmice also bothering the owl. Tough neighborhood! While driving later on along Canal Road from Alexander Road to Rockside Road I saw three pied-billed grebes in the Canal. There were also tree swallows flying low over the Canal almost all the way along the road. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
