A quick stop at Adell Durbin Park in Stow, Summit County produced some interesting finds.

Eastern BluebirdsPhoebes2 Barred OwlsWinter WrenTurkeyPileated WoodpeckerBrown Creeper.There were many small birds in the treetops but the light was dim and they are mature hardwoods, very tall. I believe they were kinglets.
This is a cool little park. There was a lot of activity in the pine grove just south of the nature center but it was pretty dark in there. Also around the restored prairie area and the adjacent thickets. The Pileated was around the playground area right next to Route 91. Them things are big when they fly right by you. Other possibles that I didn't get a good look at were Flicker in the grass west of the playground(got distracted by the Pileated flying 10 feet in front of me) and a possible Hermit Thrush that disappeared into a thicket.
