I took a walk yesterday at West Creek Reservation in Parma after lunch. I saw and heard a number of golden-crowned kinglets as soon as I got into the wooded areas. There were some field sparrows, one tree swallow and some chipping sparrows in the field. Along the creek was a belted kingfisher, an eastern phoebe, a brown creeper and one Louisiana waterthrush. There were female red-winged blackbirds and a wood duck in the wetlands. I also ran into a spider web in the woods, which is also a spring thing. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
