On the way back from the OOS Wilds day, Paula and I stopped today for these birds: In Brecksville, there were 2 Turkey Vultures sitting on the church chimney but no Black Vulture around that we could find. This was about 9:15 AM At the Seiberling Nature Center, we spent 45 minutes (around 10ish) looking at House Sparrows. Something I never would have believed I would be doing. The center was not open at the time but you can view lots of sparrows from the back deck. All the males had clean cheeks and gray crowns... :>( The Brambling was putting on a great showing, even though it was snowing hard when we left around noon. Tom -- H.
