Many thousands of mixed blackbirds were streaming over Chardon High School this morning; starlings, redwing blackbirds, cowbirds, and grackles. It was one of the largest flocks I have seen in years; people were standing outside, gawking. I assume the moonlit night was an aide to navigation. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
