Lake Erie Bluffs Metropark- Lane Road, Lake, US-OH May 15, 2015 7:00 AM - 9:10 AM Protocol: Traveling 1.4 mile(s) Comments: Covered the Bluffs Trail off Lane Road. Most of the warblers were along the woodland edges on the north and west sides of the Bluffs Trail. The interior had a lot of yellow warblers and common yellowthroats, but little warbler variety. There were a few scattered small flocks of warblers moving west along the lake when I first started. Blue jay numbers are starting to dwindle. The Brewster's Warbler was on the north end of the Bluffs Trail near the bench that overlooks a small open area. It was calling consistently 98 species (+1 other taxa) Canada Goose 3 Mallard 2 Red-breasted Merganser 64 Wild Turkey 2 Double-crested Cormorant 14 Great Blue Heron 1 Turkey Vulture 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk 1 Bald Eagle 2 Red-tailed Hawk 1 Sora 1 Calling south of the trail Spotted Sandpiper 1 Wilson's Snipe 1 Ring-billed Gull 81 Herring Gull 11 Common Tern 2 Mourning Dove 5 Chimney Swift 17 Ruby-throated Hummingbird 1 Belted Kingfisher 1 Red-bellied Woodpecker 2 Downy Woodpecker 3 Hairy Woodpecker 1 Northern Flicker 4 Olive-sided Flycatcher 1 Eastern Wood-Pewee 1 Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 2 Acadian Flycatcher 1 Alder Flycatcher 2 Willow Flycatcher 12 Least Flycatcher 3 Great Crested Flycatcher 2 Eastern Kingbird 8 White-eyed Vireo 1 Warbling Vireo 9 Philadelphia Vireo 1 Red-eyed Vireo 8 Blue Jay 87 American Crow 3 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 40 Purple Martin 3 Tree Swallow 6 Bank Swallow 350 Barn Swallow 7 Cliff Swallow 1 Black-capped Chickadee 1 Tufted Titmouse 2 White-breasted Nuthatch 1 House Wren 4 Carolina Wren 1 Eastern Bluebird 1 Veery 3 Gray-cheeked Thrush 1 Swainson's Thrush 2 Wood Thrush 3 American Robin 32 Gray Catbird 82 Brown Thrasher 5 Northern Mockingbird 1 European Starling 38 Cedar Waxwing 16 Ovenbird 2 Northern Waterthrush 1 Blue-winged Warbler 1 Brewster's Warbler (hybrid) 1 A Brewster's Warbler was heard and seen well along the north side of the Bluffs Trail Tennessee Warbler 2 Nashville Warbler 2 Mourning Warbler 1 Common Yellowthroat 29 Hooded Warbler 1 American Redstart 11 Northern Parula 1 Magnolia Warbler 23 Bay-breasted Warbler 1 Blackburnian Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler 135 Chestnut-sided Warbler 3 Blackpoll Warbler 1 Black-throated Blue Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 1 Canada Warbler 2 Wilson's Warbler 1 Yellow-breasted Chat 2 Eastern Towhee 4 Chipping Sparrow 7 Field Sparrow 2 Lincoln's Sparrow 2 Swamp Sparrow 2 White-crowned Sparrow 4 Scarlet Tanager 2 Northern Cardinal 29 Rose-breasted Grosbeak 16 Indigo Bunting 1 Red-winged Blackbird 41 Common Grackle 72 Brown-headed Cowbird 68 Orchard Oriole 5 Baltimore Oriole 21 American Goldfinch 33 View this checklist online at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S23452921 This report was generated automatically by eBird v3 (http://ebird.org) John Pogacnik ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
