Hi, 3 Louisiana Waterthrushes were singing on territory along the East Branch of the Chagrin River at the Holden Arboretum, in Kirtland, this morning. The East Branch is a state scenic river and a very high quality mountain stream that runs on bedrock. Northern Ohio is the northern edge of the breeding range for Louisiana Waterthrush and they are among the earliest neotropical migrants to return each spring. Other highlights from our BBS survery hike were Broad-winged hawk, five peckerwood species, a flock of Hermit Thrushes, American Robins, singing Winter and Carolina Wrens, Bank Swallows and Northern Redbirds.
