When I encounter Cicada's I notice all manner of birds turn into
Flycatcher's!  Today at Carlisle Reservation in Lorain County I watched a
House Sparrow and a Robin both chase the same Cicada - the Robin won and
proceeded to smack the big insect against the asphalt path and try to take
off its wings before carrying it away.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Acacia Red-headed Woodpecker

I have run the old cart paths @ the former Acacia Country Club (currently
Acacia Metropark) in Beachwood for 2+ years and saw my first-ever on-site
RHWP. An interesting observation was that it actually doing a bit of
fly-catching...
